There are two main areas which must be configured for correct use of TV in freevo. XMLTV is a vital component providing the TV guide and must be correctly configured before you continue. The second part of the configuration is done in your preferences files freevo.conf and local_conf.py. The main issue here is setting up a working TV_CHANNELS section. Below you will find more details on how to set this up for your configuration.

• Xmltv: Start here, configure the backend for the tv guide.

  • pyTVGrab: A Xmltv clone, written in Python rather than in Perl.

  • Nxtvepg: An other alternative to Xmltv for configuring the tv guide backend.

  • jxmltv: A tv guide grabber written in java, up-to-date for belgian users.

• Analog Tv: Configure freevo for analogue TV

• DVB: Configure freevo for DVB (Digital TV)

• External Tuner: Configure an external tuner

• Multi-Tuner: Configure multi-tuner support

• Output: Configure options
