The channel can be watched by playing the contents of the DVR interface, with
some player that recognizes the MPEG-TS format, such as *mplayer* or *vlc*.

The channel can be watched by playing the contents of the stream with some
player that recognizes the MPEG-TS format, such as ``mplayer`` or ``vlc``.
By playing the contents of the stream one can visually inspect the workings of
vidtv, e.g.::
vidtv, e.g., to play a recorded TS file with::
$ mplayer music.ts
or, alternatively, running this command on one terminal::
$ dvbv5-zap -c dvb_channel.conf "beethoven" -P -r &
And, on a second terminal, playing the contents from DVR interface with::
$ mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
