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

[Dr G S Kumar]

Hi Michael Weller,
Thanks for your suggestion. However even this programme does not help in
either viewing or recording Tv programmes (Analog, cable Tv). I went through
the procedure given in help of Kaffeine site. It got installed but not
displaying any TV channel.

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!
