+\index{recording!web media in real time}
Below describes the necessary steps for recording freely available media from the internet for your own personal use. You have to be on a system using pulseaudio, such as ubuntu, fedora, centos.
\section{Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)}%
\label{sec:digital_video_broadcasting}
+\index{capture!digital broadcasting}
You can do real-time capture of a full transport stream of Broadcast TV. Record television programs using \CGG{} by setting up ahead of time to start recording later at the specified time. Then you can use \CGG{} to watch later and easily fast forward through the commercials or edit the program, deleting the commercials, to watch uninterrupted. Some details may be slightly different than what it is in the United States. There are 3 requirements you must have to take advantage of this capability.
\begin{itemize}
\item From the main window use \texttt{File $\rightarrow$ Record} to request the \textit{Recording} application.
- \item In the \textit{Video In} window, press the down arrow on the left to see the channel pulldown.
+ \item In the \textit{Video In} window, press the down arrow on the left to see the \textit{Channel} pulldown.
\item Select the desirable channel, and watch TV. You will have to enable the audio by checking the \textit{Monitor audio} in the Recording window for sound.
\end{itemize}
The main menu pulldown, \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences $\rightarrow$ Playback A} and \texttt{B} Tabs, must be properly configured in order to take advantage of the Dual Screen Mode capability.
-In the main menu Window pulldown there are \textit{Tile left} and \textit{Tile right} options for the 2 monitors. If you have only 1 monitor, you will see no change upon activating these options. Tiling is possible due to the existence of one long horizontal screen display buffer. Tile left takes \CGG{} and moves all of its windows to the $2^{nd}$ monitor/TV and Tile right puts it back to the $1^{st}$ monitor. The left and right monitors are the left part or right part of a Playback A/B Xwindow host referenced in the Video Config Playback A/B for separate X screens. Shortcuts for Tile left and Tile rights are the letters \texttt{a} and \texttt{b} on the keyboard once you have set \textit{Remote Control mode}. Below is a summary of the configuration letters:

\subsection{Remote Control for DVB}%
\label{sub:remote_control_dvb}
+\index{capture!remote control for DVB}
\CGG{} DVB recording/playback can now easily be done in \textit{couch potato} mode using a remote control. This comes in handy when you want to playback on a big TV screen for multiple person viewing. You can use the Application/Menu key on the keyboard to toggle between standard \CGG{} usage or a Dispatcher methodology through use of a remote control, an Android programmed device such as a tablet, or keyboard. The Application/Menu key on most keyboards is between the Alt and Ctrl keys on the right hand side bottom and depicts a menu on it either with or without a pointer (see image below). An ati-x10 Remote Control device (figure~\ref{fig:remote01}) is currently working with \CGG{} and other remote controls may work but have never been tried. The red/orange box on the top left main screen of \CGG{} indicates Dispatcher Method access is activated which allows for keyboard grab which routes all key strokes until toggled off. Below are the currently defined operations.
\subsection{Android Remote Control for DVB}%
\label{sub:android_remote_control_dvb}
-\CGGI{} has Android remote interface code (figure~\ref{fig:remote02}). Any device, such as a tablet or a phone, can be used as long as it is running the Android operating system. Programming an Android Remote Control for DVB is a bit complicated at first, but becomes pretty simple after a bit.

Programming an Android Remote Control for DVB is a bit complicated at first, but becomes pretty simple after a bit.
\begin{enumerate}
\item The Android Remote Control requires you to download and install the Android \textit{CineRmt} app package (apk). To install it simply download it (any way you can) to your phone or tablet and click it to install, if it doesn't run automatically.

\section{The commercial DB}%
\label{sec:commercial_db}
+\index{capture! commercials database}
While watching broadcast television, it is possible to use \CGG{} to automatically mute commercials being aired during a broadcast capture. Visual muting as well as sound muting is done! You can NOT use ffmpeg for the format when working with the \textit{commercial DB}. This database that was added is a \textit{novel architecture} shared memory database, a \textit{Traveling Data Base} (TDB). With TDB you have direct access to the shared database presence (instead of having to go to the server).

If you want to transfer the data on a VHS tape, DVD disc, or Video8/Hi8 Tapes into \CGG{}, you
can do so by playing the media and recording while playing. This captures the media, which you

In the case of the Hauppauge 9500 WinTV-HVR Hybrid TV stick, the setup is similar as in case
\#1 with the major exception being that the Video In, Record Driver should be Video4Linux2 MPEG.
