The tool is called "FreetuxTV" channels player.

On an Ubuntu-box, the installation is as follows:
Open a terminal:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freetuxtv/freetuxtv
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install freetuxtv


Lean back and wait for the tool to be installed.

When you start the tool for the first time, you are presented with a choice of channel-groups to add to your new "TV". Click on each group you want and then on the "add" button.

Watch/record away.

The choice of channels is still a bit limited but then the version number of the tool is at ~0.5 and hope dies last Smile

I don't know. It uses the VLC routines, so the pathetic Flash-implementation for Linux is not the bottle neck. On my relatively ancient box, the tool uses below 5% CPU-load and not too much memory, so I don't see, why it shouldn't run on vmware or virtualbox or anything. OTOH if you run Windows as your main OS, there are surely comparable tools native to that.
