kaffeine is not in "active" devolopment but is still in the repos, (thats how I 
found that it does not "seem" to play well (with my Nova-T PCI DVB) in later 
versions (I tried 18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 23.04) under 16.04 it was solid, not 
sure what changed, when I first tried it, there was a dialoge re installing 
something extra for DVB (may have been ffmpeg?), but last time no dialogue (so 
no clue what was required) also the list of "Local" MUX freqs was well 
outdated, and no on-line listing, BUT you can still search all MUX freqs, it 
takes a little longer but found all my channels, the list format was not the 
same as for my Windows DVB software or I would have just copied it

I could not find the Kaffiene version of "DigitalTV-t.lst" to try a manual edit

I may still have a persistant LiveUSB of 16.04.7 with Kaffiene (or I can 
install it again) to test (box with DVB has windows at moment)
