I agree with MJ:

That's a verb phrase. Besides, what's the difference between
channels and stations?

We've left this with two "also"s in one line. Perhaps it should be:
(which is also read by some other utilities such as fbtv). It attempts
to extract the station names from inter-frame (VBI) data as well.

Another verb phrase. Tricky... maybe:
Description: image capturer and uploader
Assuming "capturer" is okay... if not, either fall back on "grabber"
or switch over to "image capturing and uploading utility".

"Software" being used to mean (roughly) "program".
This utility captures images from a video4linux device such as
bttv, annotates them and uploads them to a webserver in an endless loop
using FTP or SSH.
(Note also the final punctuation.)
