From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Okay, I've been seeing quite a lot of articles regarding internet TV. Can I get one for setting up local TV with a USB tuner using my old rooftop antenna instead?

Maybe, if your hardware is supported in linux. I use tvheadend with a PCI and a USB DVB-S (Satellite) receiver.

I'm looking to buy a (most likely) RTL based USB DVB-T2 receiver. Got an old antenna on the roof I haven't used in a while.
