Update April 2020: the advice provided here is getting a bit old, but may still work with Ubuntu 14.04. For an updated version of MeTV check out the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/Me-TV/Me-TV and latest compiled executables at Bintray here. An interesting exercise would be to compile MeTV into a Docker container/image (not something I have any specialism in, but please add a comment + link if you are doing this) – it might make it a whole lot easier.

UberNerdy tip-of-the-day: If you want a super-cheap TV on your MacOS computer (along with EPG & PVR) – install Ubuntu Linux on a Virtual Machine (e.g. Parallels/Virtual Box) and install Me TV (link: https://launchpad.net/me-tv/) software (or from the Ubuntu software repository if available) and buy a cheap rtl2832u/r820t chipset DVB-T USB stick (example) and an mcx to PAL co-ax adapter (example). It works fine under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (DVB-T standard countries only). Note – I haven’t tried the examples I’ve linked to on amazon, but Wiltronics no longer seem to sell the models listed here previously, so do some research. Your mileage will vary: good luck!

Sichbo Certified Devices. Windows TV tuner drivers are a veritable minefield for consumers. The Sichbo Certified Driver Programme is designed to shield the unsuspecting public from negligent hardware vendors and their crappily written, barely functional BDA device drivers. If you are a hardware vendor who stands by your product and you're willing to undergo an evaluation and fix identified. These days software-defined radios (SDR) are receiving a great deal of attention. In a conventional radio, the processing of the RF input signals to output signals.

It saved me hundreds of dollars after looking for equivalent stuff for a Mac – there is no open source MacOS TV software I could find. In fact, if I had used Virtual Box rather than Parallels, the only cost would’ve been the USB TV tuner. Plus the amazingly cheap USB stick I used is great for Software Defined Radio (SDR) – you can monitor a huge range of frequencies using http://gqrx.dk (directly in MacOS – no need for a Linux VM) – as well as listen to normal radio & emergency frequencies, aeroplanes, maritime radio, satellites etc etc. There’s a fascinating world of radio and data out there! The USB stick uses the RealTek RTL2832U chipset – as does a bunch of others.

Naturally, installing a whole VM OS is probably overkill for one application if you’re just after a desktop TV – I use Linux a lot for research purposes, so the best of both worlds. Smaller Linux distros like PuppyLinux might also work. Play pokemon sun and moon for free.

I recently got a USB stick tuner for my laptop but have no tuner software. The stick is Intel CE9500 based and the drivers installed fine. I tested it with trial DVB Dream which worked fine.
What I want is just a simple tuner and EPG for Freeview, I don't need a PVR and the extra complication and program overhead.
Any suggestions?

    If you understand French, you have this one (pouchinTV) which works with any card or stick with BDA drivers (which is the case of the CE9500).
    It's fairly simple and light, but has nevertheless a PVR function ans can record in TS or PS format.

    Most software supplied with DVB devices is almost useless! If you Google 'DVB Software' you will find plenty. The page below has quite a selection and is a good starting point.

    Media Portal and NextPVR are probably OTT for what you want as they are mainly PVR software. DVBviewer seems to be regarded as the best viewing software but is not free costing 15euro but a demo version is available.

    If you are on Vista or W7 why not just use Media Center?. As long as the drivers are installed it works fine with most USB tuners and it's free.

    ProgDVB is what I use

    VLC also works at a push - cross multiplex tuning is a pain though!

    Have a look at AltDVB:

    It does everything but timeshifting without unneccesary bloat, and personally I would hate to be without it.

    This is incorrect; it DOES do timeshifting.

    I can't even get this software to work properly. Can't find channels. Various menu items do nothing. No help etc. Unfortunately, most of the more bloated software actually works for me. Don't know what the problem is - unless my ancient laptop and XP upset AltDVB.

    Morning,
    I know this is a bit old but I've got a similar issue.
    I've got a standard DVB-T tuner but need the software for it to run on (for watching the TV programmes).
    I know about Windows Media Center, but are there any other alternatives that are any good? They need to be able to let the user watch Freeview/DVB-T from a USB tuner, and they also need to be free (no subscriptions or payware).
    Any recommendations would be appreciated!
