[MPlayer-users] how can mplayer improve my tv watching?

[Michael G Thomas]

could someone a sample command to watch tv on my redhat-8.0 athlon-1333
1gig ram box with bttv driver (ntsc + us-cable) and tnt2 m64 32mb nvidia
driver-41xx -sweet. I just watched The_two_towers trailer - puts
quicktime player to shame. Oh! /dev/video is a directory containing
files below:

[root at localhost video]# l
total 116
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Dec  2 02:55 .
drwxr-xr-x   20 root     root       116736 Dec 17 12:25 ..
