TV-Browser for Linux

A free EPG

Overview

TV-Browser is a free electronic program guide (EPG) designed for Linux users.

It helps you see TV schedules in one easy-to-use program.

TV-Browser is built with Java, so it can run on many platforms, but this listing focuses on its use with Linux.

This makes it a good choice if you want a reliable way to check TV listings without extra costs.

The software looks like a paper TV guide, which makes it familiar and simple to use for people who like traditional TV schedules.

You can also add many plugins to extend its features.

This means you can customize the app to show more information or improve how it works.

Because it uses Java, if you know some Java programming, you can create or modify plugins to fit your needs.

One thing to keep in mind is that TV-Browser does not organize shows into clear categories, so finding specific types of programs might be harder than with other guides.

Also, there is no mention of a modern user interface, so users should expect a straightforward design that focuses on function rather than flashy visuals.

Overall, TV-Browser is a solid choice for Linux users who want a flexible and free TV guide.

It offers good customization options for those comfortable with Java and presents information in a familiar format that resembles classic paper TV listings.
