OK, so I have replaced the Sundtek USB DVB-C stick with an Hauppauge 292e one
and I get HDTV. I also get a lot more channels, so there was a hardware
problem.
Kaffeine tends to freeze and sometimes crash however (sorry to say that it
works far better on Windows).
There is something I'd like to try: on starting DVB, Keffeine
says "Deinterlace on" - it takes some time after that to get a picture,
sometimes frozen, then most of the time it does work.
There seems to be a way to turn deintelace off, but I haven't found it yet.
There is nothing about it in kaffeinerc, maybe I should add a line? Does
anyone know?
