Digital terrestical TV with a Tevion DVB-T 100 PCI card and Kubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04)
This PCI card will also sold as "K-World" and "V-Stream". I got this DVB-T card as a present from a friend, because he gotn't run it under WinXP correcty. I tried it, but Feisty didn't supported this card. After long searching, I found a howto at wiki.ubuntuusers.de/v4l-dvb. In the future, I should look on this site first, when I have problems :-)
I downloaded the sources of the current developer version of the V4L project (Video4Linux) and installed it as described at the wiki. The commandline tool "hg" of the version management software Mercurial.
During my search for a good DVB-T software for KDE I tried a lot of programs, but sticked at the end at a already installed program: Kaffeine. I nearly never used Kaffeine before, because I disliked the interface. I know, this is not really a criterion for the quality of a software... :-) As soon the kernel module was loaded and the DVB-T card was detected, Kaffeine offered a new menu entry "DVB" and a corresponding button "Digital TV". After scanning for channels (to find in menu "DVB" -> "Channels") I could watch tv. And all worked out of the box: manual recording, timer recording, EPG and timeshifting.
Timeshifting
When you minimize the kaffeine window when you watch tv, kaffeine begins instantly to record the tv program. When you re-open the window again, the program continues at the time, as you minimized the kaffeine window.
