Kaffeine-TV/da

Kaffeine er en medieafspiller med alle mulige funktioner - heriblandt en funktion, som ikke ofte ses i andre afspillere, nemlig evnen til at vise digitale tv-programmer på pc'er udstyret med et tv-tunerkort eller -dongle.

Opsætning

Kaffeine opdager, hvis et passende tunerkort et tilstede; i så fald vil det blive rapporteret, hvis du klikker på menupunktet DVB -> Indstil DVB i det afsnit af indstillingerne, som hedder DVB-enhed. I denne dialog kan du også vælge kilden til dit DVB-signal (senderen). Kaffeine har på forhånd indlæst informationer om flere hundrede jordstationer og satellitter. Du kan også vælge AUTO, som betyder, at du ikke behøver at kende navnet på din sender, hvis dit kort understøtter denne funktion.

Having checked that you have a recognised tuner card and a source to scan for channels, move to the channels dialog (DVB -> Channels in the main Kaffeine Menu). Here there is a prominent (red) Start Scan button. Pressing this, causes the tuner card to scan for channels, which are then listed in the right hand area of the dialog (labelled "Found"). Both TV and Radio Stations should be picked up in the scan. After this the simplest way to proceed is to press successively the Select All and Add Selected buttons which will move all the channels found into the left hand area of the dialog (labelled "Channels").

That's it - you have set up the system and can start watching and listening.

Usage

To do so, go to the start-up window and click on the large Digital TV icon. The channel list you generated earlier then opens up on the left hand panel. Double-clicking on a channel in this list opens it up and it starts playing in the right hand panel. A single-click on a channel will provide an on-screen display with details of the programme currently showing on that channel.
