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.

&gt; Hi guys, 
 
Good morning Christoph 
 
&gt; I know I should have done this step earlier. After taking over this 
&gt; project from Christophe Thommeret long ago and doing a lot of 
&gt; interesting stuff, I&#39;ve been busy with real life in the past months 
&gt; (years) and the situation will not change in the future. As I&#39;m unable 
&gt; to maintain Kaffeine in an appropriate manner, I&#39;ve decided to abandon 
&gt; the project. 
 
Too bad to hear but thanks a lot for your past work! I watched TV hours with 
Kaffeine and used it a lot. So thanks for your work and Kaffeine. 
 
&gt; Therefore I&#39;m asking whether someone is interested in taking over 
&gt; maintainership; I&#39;ve listed the current state of the project at the 
&gt; end of this mail. Unfortunately, I haven&#39;t been able to deal with 
&gt; patches earlier [ sorry guys! ], so I don&#39;t have a logical candidate 
&gt; or so. But if somebody is willing to take over [ you should know a bit 
&gt; about Qt and KDE and preferably have some Dvb / Atsc equipment at hand 
&gt; ], I will try to support the handover. 
 
Depending on where you are on this planet I could send you a DVB-S card to 
test and port Kaffeine. 
 
Christoph: 
What do you think of migrating the code and mailing lists (etc.) from 
sourceforge to KDE infrastructure? 
 
Or would it even make sense to merge Kaffeine with the Plasma Media Center?
