   Can somebody create a package for 'TV-Browser' ( http://www.tvbrowser.org/ )??

   It is not as easy, cause it uses jre - whitch is also not available in depot.

   Just took a quick look at the website you provided.
   -If you want to install TVB version 4 Final, you'll need Jre8, which should be just last package javajre from oracle
   -If you use others (jre6 in slitaz repos you might need earlier version 3.x.x of TVB compatible with her 6.
   -as first you may just try downloading Debian .deb or .rpm package and convert it to Tazpkg package format (tazpkg convert tvbrowser*.deb or tvbrowser*.rpm) and installing it. It may work or not.
   -I also saw they have in downloads a version called tvbrowser-transportable something in zip. It should likely have a Linux .sh or Java .jar executable inside to run without installing anything. Just unpack the zip.

   Sorry, you have to test it yourself. I haven't run any Java stuff under Linux for years (or maybe someone here on the forum knows and uses tvbrowser), and in case of slitaz don't know how much sense it does (booting to ram, fast and tiny thing...). By installing such heavy apps just to watch TV... You will triple the size of your slitaz installation. I'd rather just install Mint or *buntu where such should work out of the box.
