Im not really interested in the whole home theatre style tv watching. Im actually more interested in the stream analysis. Windows had a few good applications, TSReader being one of them but there wasnt anything really for Linux. So I wrote my own, updateDVB

I have quite a few stv0900/stv0903 devices supported plus some others like the genpix skywalker-1 (DVB-S, turbo-fec 8psk/qpsk, Digicipher II, DSS) and a few ATSC devices. You can use any DVB/ATSC device but you wont get the extra's like SNR in dB, spectrum scan, IQ plot, additional modulations, etc
