How to make VLC scan all Analog TV channels and record programmed

[Michael Weller]

I'd recommend Kaffeine for that purpose. It has very well integrated
tv support. Switching channels and saving the stream to a file works
very well for me for quite some time. As far as I know vlc does not
support switching of channels. You would have to use a separate tool
to control the channels, vlc then streams the selected channel..

HTH!
