XawTv, application suite for video4linux, apps to watch tv, to record movies, command line tools to handle v4l devices and teletext browser.

XawTV is a program that allows a person to watch and record television through a PC with either a TV tuner or a Satellite receiver card DVB-S. xawtv works on Unix-like operating systems, and is licensed under the GPL.

It does not favour any particular desktop environment. It comes with applications which use MOTIF-based widgets, as well as other X11 and command line applications. It works with Video4linux and XVideo. The interface to xawtv is minimalistic.
