With the new N7 netwerktuner from anysee you get an very flexible tv watching/streaming solution. It delivers it TV via the netwrok as an MPEG2 stream. You can watch television then for example with VLC or mplayer.
Because I want to start watching and recording fast from my linux of mac boxes i wrote 2 handy shell scripts to launch a viewer or to start recording. I put them in /usr/local/bin and did a chmod +x
**Script 1
** I called it: tv
#!/bin/bash killall mplayer mplayer -nocache -ao sdl http://ip_number_of_n7:8080/chlist/$1
**Script 2
** I called it record
#!/bin/bash mplayer -nocache -ao sdl http://ip_number_of_n7:8080/chlist/$1 -dumpstream -dumpfile ~/record.mpg
**
Usage:**
Of course you have to fill in the IP number of the N7 yourself. But after that it’s easy..
Now you can watch television by typing the following command in a console (without the $):
$ tv 0012
This starts mplayer and tunes to channel 12
or
$ record 0001
This records channel 1 into your home folder ->record.mpg
It’s even possible to open the dumpfile in mplayer while recording and watch it live. So record AND watching simultaneously 
I then added some items to my kde menu for the channels I watch most. I used the icons of the channels for it.
