I've a cheap USB DVB key that won't work with Kaffeine.
It identifies itself as KWorld USB DVB-T TV Stick II (VS-DVB-T 395U).
It shows up on Kaffeine's "Configure Television" dialog,
but scanning for channels finds nothing,
and tuning using an old channel list gives "Sorry - no available device found"
I had Kaffeine working OK with a different USB TV key.
dvbscan produces "WARNING:>>> tuning failed!!!" messages.
The key works on XP using KWorld's HyperMedia Center.
Rebooting from there to Linux with warm USB key shows it contains 4.95.0
firmware.
At one point, such a warm reboot enabled Kaffeine to show TV.
That was with one of the early KDE4 Kaffeine candidates,
and an older linux kernel (sorry, I forget which).
Now using kernel modules in Linux version 2.6.34-gentoo-r6.
Kaffeine 1.0, KDE 4.4.5. linuxtv-dvb-apps 1.1.1.20080317
on an ASUS EeePC 1000HE (Intel Atom processor).
