[Kde-extra-gear] kdetv 0.8.0 released

[Dirk Ziegelmeier]

After more than two years of development, the long anticipated successor of 
KWinTV has reached it's 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.

Screenshots, more information and most important of all, installation 
instructions can be found at the website: http://www.kwintv.org/ (we are 
working on http://www.kdetv.org).  Packages will be made available for many 
popular distributions.
