(I can offer > good commandline suggestions, but `gtk' and `qt' have on > meaning to me) Can you recommend any command line programs? I love using the cli, and if possible I would avoid using gnome. Can mplayer control the tv? So, I have to build the right module for my card? Then I need to configure it and get it working with some kind of tv program? Is that right? If so, how do I find the part in the kernel config to build the module for my tv card, and do I build it as modules or build it into the kernel?
