I have designed a simple but pretty looking widget for MAC which uses vlc to
playback freeview (DTT).

Thought some of you people might be interested.

It does everything featured bar interactivity (which obviously vlc doesn't
support)

Source code can also be downloaded, to make it work you will have to provide
it an ajax service (xml) which tells it the channel name,number and address.
Basically design your own version of www.zepler.tv/chan.php (which can be
found in the ecstv.html source code file)

chan.php should return well formatted xml results in the following format:
<channel>
<chan_no>80</chan_no>
<chan_address>protocol://location.of.stream.com:1234</chan_address>
<chan_name>Test Chan</chan_name>
</channel>

Source Code @ http://www.zepler.tv/software/ecstv.wdgt.zip

No freeview will not work where you are, as it would be illegal to
distribute this worldwide :P

Anyway i've only wasted my time if it is useful to no one.

 P.S. Make sure you have the vlc mac browser pluggin installed for whining
at me for it not working.
