The wiki is outdated, stuff changed. All these are now in the tvserver
package. You do not need anything from freevo, only some kaa packages.

Yes, you are :)
I'm not sure the tvserver works since the latest kaa updates. It should,
but I never tried it. OTOH last time I tried it was possible to schedule
recordings with the 2.0 GUI, watching TV is not implemented.
> 1. Know what the status of TV is at present for 2.0
TV watching is not possible. The tvserver itself should be usable for
scheduling a recording, favorites, etc. Live-TV is not done yet. Maybe
smeone can help me out here. The good part of the current Freevo 2.0
design is that the tvserver does not require you to understand Freevo,
only kaa.epg and kaa.base.

DVB should work with the help of dvbstreamer. The tvserver has
plugins. One is dvbstreamer, one is mplayer. Only dvb is working.

analog TV, the ability to stream live TV to a client (to watch it),
better epg support.

Feel fee to fix the volume stuff. I do not need it since I use audio
pass-through. The full-screen code will be fixed once we switch to the
new gui code. There is a branch called candy, but it requires more love
and a new video player kaa module.
