Too bad to hear but thanks a lot for your past work! I watched TV hours with<br>
Kaffeine and used it a lot. So thanks for your work and Kaffeine.<br>

Depending on where you are on this planet I could send you a DVB-S card to<br>
test and port Kaffeine.<br>
<br>
Christoph:<br>
What do you think of migrating the code and mailing lists (etc.) from<br>
sourceforge to KDE infrastructure?<br>
<br>
Or would it even make sense to merge Kaffeine with the Plasma Media Center?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I thought of this , too. I think TV support would be awesome to have in PMC as well and Kaffeine was always the only working solution for Linux I found so far. </div></blockquote>
<div><br></div></div></div><div>This is the most wanted feature in PMC as of today as there is still no plan of implementation because the developers do not have DVB equipment, plus the only way to get TV in their region is through set-top-boxes whose output is using cables like these <a href="http://img.alibaba.com/photo/259155234/3_5mm_Plug_3_RCA_Video_Audio_Cable.jpg" target="_blank">http://img.alibaba.com/photo/259155234/3_5mm_Plug_3_RCA_Video_Audio_Cable.jpg</a> .
