KatchTV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KatchTV is an Internet TV application for the KDE desktop, which is popular on Unix computers such as Linux. Similar to Democracy Player, KatchTV allows users to easily find and watch digital TV channels (in the form of podcasts). By clicking on a channel's feed button from a website such as VODStock or Videopodcasts.TV, users can subscribe to that channel. For all subscribed channels, they can see a list of episodes available, and can download episodes of their choice. Any downloaded episodes can be watched from directly within the program.
The overall experience with KatchTV and similar programs relatively close to that of browsing and watching programs on a digital TV system such as satellite TV or cable TV. However, the programs available are generally made by small independent producers and thus offer a different variety of option than larger networks.
