I just installed Kaffeine to tests it's DVB-S-capabilities. However, I was not even able to search for channels:

There was no other program occupying the DVB adapter. Using VLC Media Player, it is possible to watch TV without any problem.
Any news on that?
The same happens for me using a TT 1401 (which worked fine quite some time ago).
