is kaffeine the only good digital TV software?
by slackmensch from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HMK8)
I mostly want to view TV (using USB tuner stick + antenna) and occasionally record. Had it with hulu, vudu, britbox, netflix. Since The Expanse is on the way out, I have no use for Amazon' either. Sick of paying for shows that used to be free.
I don't really want a MythTV- style 10-foot operating system; it seems like a waste unless the machine is underpowered ARM junk or super-old core2duo. Kaffeine is pretty good, but it is not in the main distro. (I'm building ver 2.0.18; the slackbuild is old but easily updated.) So is there something else people are using?
Linux does seem to have a long tradition of calling software by strange polyglot, jabberwocky names not indicative of function: Sylpheed Klaws, Nepomuck, Balloo, Clementine, Midori... so mebbe I missed the great new digital TV app called Slartibartfast or something. Or does no one care about digital TV anymore? I fear it is the latter.
