Description:
kWinTV is a TV application for the K Desktop Environment (KDE) based on the Video4Linux interface. http://kwintv.sourceforge.net/about.html - based driver. Since kWinTV is (almost fully) integrated into the KDE it gives you some additional comfort and features like an easy to use User Interface, easy configuration and others.

Some of the features of kWinTV:

    * Easy to use GUI (Qt/KDE).
    * Almost all is free configurable.
    * Easy channel setup.
    * AutoScan function to scan for all channels of a given country (frequency table).
    * Supports frequency tables for several countries (Europe, USA, Japan and many others).
    * Features like full-screen-size, fixing aspect ratio after resizing etc.
    * Capture screen shots to files (currently, JPEG and PNM are supported).
    * Capture video streams to files (AVI, PNM, JPEG, raw data) in several resolutions and color depths with a given frame rate (up to 30 fps on fast systems).
    * Supports use of a Infrared Rremote Control (see LIRC package) with an easy to use configuration dialog (maybe I will release my easy to use C++ classes (works like kaccel) supporting the dialog and managing the connection to the lirc daemon somedays. Interested? Mail me!).
    * Supports audio mixer for soundcard and TV card (if the TV card has a mixer...).

Not packaged, so too early to request a backport.

Unfortunately this application has not been updated for 10 years and lacks a homepage now. Unmaintained pieces of software do no quality for inclusion in Ubuntu.
