33 The <application>DVB-Apps</application> package contains a collection of
34 command line utilities for controlling and using a digital television
35 card/chip installed (possibly through a USB port) on your computer. These
36 are useful for scanning to make an index of the available channels, tuning
37 the chip to a chosen station or recording the channel to a file on your
38 computer so you can watch it at a later date.

86 There are many TV chips available so it is not possible to give guidance
87 on the kernel config for all of them. <command>lspci</command> from
88 <xref linkend="pciutils"/> and Goggle are your friends. One possible
89 gotcha is that some pci cards (such as the <ulink

91 Hauppauge Nova T 500</ulink>) present themselves to the motherboard as a
92 USB controller and the TV chip on the card communicates with the
93 motherboard via this USB interface.

224 If you give it ten seconds or so to buffer you can then start to watch the
225 file with a video player such as <command>xine</command> or
226 <command>mplayer</command>. The advantage of watching TV via a file in
227 this way is that it allows you to pause playback and rewind if you want,
228 plus you can watch the file again later.
