Capabilities

With Kaffeine you can:

    • Video files
    • VCDs
    • DVDs
  • Watch Digital TV


If you have a working dvb-t card in your systerm, 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:

Recording is as simple as well:
