You might ask why in the age of Myth TV would I bother with DVB on the command line to which I would answer that I'm happy enough to be able to open up a terminal (locally or remotely), type in a command, respond to a couple prompts, and schedule a show to be saved for later viewing. I don't need much more than that. | You might ask why in the age of Myth TV would I bother with DVB on the command line to which I would answer that I'm happy enough to be able to open up a terminal (locally or remotely), type in a command, respond to a couple prompts, and schedule a show to be saved for later viewing.

- | Using two terminals and remembering commands and syntax gets to be a bit too much so I'll close this tutorial with an example script that illustrates how the commands tzap and mencoder can be used in a script to record a dvb broadcast. To use this script you would have to edit the variable declarations to suit and run it when the show is about to begin.
