KatchTV

KatchTV

KatchTV is an Internet TV application for the KDE desktop, which is popular on Unix-like operating systems such as Linux. Similar to Miro Media Player, KatchTV allows users to 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, 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. KatchTV is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.

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.
