DTV
current version: 1.2.1
This project was initiated to build a highly configurable, extendable platform for digital broadcasting services. Unlike the famous and very well implemented 'VDR', which concentrates on recording and replaying digital video stuff, this code tries to do its best in parsing and providing digital television services, as commercial integrated receiver decoders like the Premiere d-box do.

dvbstream
current version: 0.4pre2
dvbstream can broadcast either a (subset of a) DVB transport stream or a DVB program stream over a LAN using the rtp protocol. It attempts to be compliant with RFCs 1889, 1890, 2038 and 2250.

VDR - Video Disk Recorder
current version: 1.2.1

VDR is a fully-featured digital TV receiver and a digital video recorder software. It allows you to view, record and replay digital TV programs (both FTA and encrypted) through a DVB-c, DVB-s or DVB-t card. The user-interface is implemented as an On-Screen-Display (OSD) which can be navigated using a keyboard or an IR remote control. Thus, VDR will run like a true VCR without a monitor and mouse attached.

Since version 1.2.0, VDR features a plug-in interface (allowing such things as (S)VCD replay, DVD replay, MP3 player etc.), one-button time shift recording, and recording and replay with only one DVB device.
