    The Kaffeine Start-up Screen
    Kaffeine - a full featured media player that can fulfil all the basic multimedia tasks.

    Information

    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:
