kdetv 0.8.0 Released!
=====================

   After more than two years of development, the long anticipated
successor of  KWinTV has reached its first public release. kdetv is an
application to  watch TV using Xv or video4linux compatible video cards.
 With this release of  kdetv, Linux users can now enjoy a user-friendly
desktop TV viewing  experience.

     Features of kdetv include three view modes, a channel scanner, the
ability to  import the channel files of three other TV programs,
teletext and closed caption decoding, and an easy-to-use graphical user
interface. The application supports remote controls using KDELIRC, a
component shipped in KDE 3.2.

     kdetv requires KDE libraries version 3.1 or above, a TV tuner card
with  video4linux or XVIDEO-input support, and an ALSA or OSS compatible
mixer  device.
