Paulo Ferreira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: xtv - simple and extensible tv viewer/de System name: xtv Type: GNU Description: xtv aims to be a simple and easy to extend program for capture of video through both the first (v4l) and second (v4l2) video for linux APIs. The main difference from other tv software is that we aim to implement cablecrypt descrambling (such as that in cabletv, but more generic). What motivated us to start a new project was the lack of software to descramble video for linux in a generic way (cabletv relies on a particular chip, bt878, and refuses to function on boards with other hardware), while there is a large choice of windows software for this purpose. We believe we can help to close that gap. We do not have much code now (we merely open the v4l device and display an X11 window), but the few lines we have are on http://gape.ist.utl.pt/~paulo/xtv.tar.gz Other Software Required: This software expects to be linux specific (it relies on the v4l interface). Otherwise, it only requires the X11 libraries.
