These are all linux/unix applications.

  1. Run XMLTV

  XMLTV is a collection of scripts which download TV listings to a local 
XML file.
The scripts are named by location, for example, tv_grab_na for North 
America,
or tv_grab_de for Germany. With the North American script, you first
configure it for your provider by

  FFMPEG(1) 
                                          FFMPEG(1)

  NAME
         ffmpeg - FFmpeg video converter

  SYNOPSIS
         ffmpeg [[infile options][-i infile]]... {[outfile options] 
outfile}...

  DESCRIPTION
         If no input file is given, audio/video grabbing is done.

         As a general rule, options are applied to the next specified 
file. For example, if you give the -b 64 option, it
         sets the video bitrate of the next file. Format option may be 
needed for raw input files.

         By default, ffmpeg tries to convert as losslessly as possible: 
it uses the same audio and video parameter for the
         outputs as the one specified for the inputs.

  NAME
         motion -   Detect motion using a video4linux device

  SYNOPSIS
         motion  [ -BCDhlmNpQw] [ -A ipnr] [ -a seconds] [ -c changes] [ 
-d device] [ -E command] [ -F file] [ -f nr] [ -G
         seconds] [ -g seconds] [ -i input] [ -L noise] [ -M address] [ 
-n norm] [ -O command] [ -P device] [ -q  quality]
         [ -S nr] [ -s widthxheight] [ -t target dir] [ -u user:pass ] [ 
-U webcam_path ] [ -V device]

  DESCRIPTION
         Motion  uses a video4linux device to detect motion. If motion 
is detected both normal and motion pictures will be
         taken. Motion can also take actions to notify you if needed. 
Creation of automated snapshots is also possible.
