Like I said if kaffeine detects devices for some varient og digital video broadcasting a tab will appear on the media choice screen. I have just discovered what looks like a very good tv app called me-tv (programmed by an ozzie so its me tv on me pc) which is designed for gnome and like kaffeine will do a scan and build a channel list if a dvb device is detected. The linuxtv command line apps build channel lists for dvb-t and dvb-s, ie satellite and terrestrial. I think the documentation is crap. -- Simon Robert www.oldhouse-cottage.co.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
