vtticker

vtticker is a perl script that grabs pages from videotext/teletext (using alevt-cap) and transfroms them to RSS, a form of XML which can be read by knewsticker (part of KDE). As videotext contains high-quality news and stock quotes - at least the stations in Germany - I thought it would be quite useful.

If you want to use it you need a subscript that is specific to your stations. Currently available scripts:
TV station Country Contents
ARD Germany News
ZDF Germany Stock quotes
If you can't find your station here, and you're either familiar with regular expressions or want to learn it, then write your own! A sample script with detailed comments is included in the package. I wrote the scripts in Perl, but since they are call as an extra process (using Perl's qx()), it should be possible to write them in any other language like Python.
