xawtv started as TV application for the bttv driver, because the Motif-based "xtvscreen" was the only TV application at this time. Alot has changed since:
  • The xawtv and bttv driver switched over to the video4linux interface.
  • Support for more interfaces was added: Xvideo Extention, the new video4linux2 interface and BSD Family video grabber driver (bktr).
  • xawtv isn't a single application any more, it is a small suite of video4linux related software, with video recording capabilities and serveral useful command line tools.
  • In the future even more hardware will be supported, the current development snapshots already have DVB support for example.

    Here are some key features of "XawTV":
    xawtv
  • of course, it is still the main application, for watching TV.
    motv
  • a new, IMHO better, TV application with a Motif-based GUI.
    mtt
  • a teletext browser, also uses Motif. This one works on a terminal too.
    pia
  • a simple movie player.
    fbtv
  • is a TV application for the linux console, it uses a framebuffer devices to display the video.
    streamer
  • a command line tool for recording movies.
    v4lctl
  • a command line tool to set video4linux parameters (tune in some channel, set TV norm, ...).
    scantv
  • a command line tool to do a channel scan.
    radio
  • a simple, curses-based radio app.
    webcam
  • captures images and uploads them to a Web-Server via ftp or ssh in a endless loop.
    alevtd
  • a http server for videotext pages, so you can watch read videotext with a webbrowser.
  • Most of the apps share the xawtv config file (~/.xawtv).
