Bug#418178: RFA: nxtvepg

[Reinhard Tartler <siretart@tauware.de>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I'm not using nxtvepg any longer, so it would be great if someone could
take over this package. Also non-DDs are welcome, I'm happy to sponsor
upload if necessary.

The package is IMO in quite good shape, prospective uploaders should
first update it to the latest upstream version released in January.

Description: Nextview EPG decoder and browser
 In this software package you find a decoder for Nextview - an Electronic
 TV Programme Guide for the analog domain (as opposed to the various digital
 EPGs that come with most digital broadcasts). It allows you to decode and
 browse TV programme listings for most of the major networks in Germany,
 Austria, France and Switzerland.
 .
 Currently, Nextview EPG is transmitted by:
  * in Germany and Austria: Kabel1, 3Sat, RTL-II, EuroNews
    (coverage: apx. 31 networks)
  * in Switzerland: SF1, TSR1, TSI1, EuroNews, 3sat, Kabel1
    (coverage: apx. 37 networks)
  * in France: Canal+, M6 (coverage: 8 networks)
  * in Turkey: TRT-1 (coverage: 17 networks)
 .
 The EPG information is read from /dev/vbi, i.e. you need some TV card
 which provides a VBI data stream.  bttv cards work.  zoran might work
 too, but I haven't tested that due to lack of hardware...
