Capabilities

With Kaffeine you can:

• Play:
  • Audio files
  • Video files
  • VCDs
  • DVDs
• Watch Digital TV

If you have a working dvb-t card in your system, Kaffeine knows about it and shows a button on the start tab "Digital TV". It shows as well a new configure option on top "Television".

A new device is added

Configuring the device

All you have to do, after you select your source, "hessen-de" in my case, is to click the start scan button.

The Channel Scan Screen

Add then the found/selected channels to the left (as in the screenshot already done) and you're ready to watch TV.

The next screenshot shows the video and channel select window:

Selecting the channel

Recording is as simple as well:

Setting the recording time

There's even a program guide:
