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
http://img.alibaba.com/photo/259155234/3_5mm_Plug_3_RCA_Video_Audio_Cable.jpg.
Is that what the DVB/ATSC equipment accept?
So, in addition to taking up Kaffeine if someone has the resources to
implement that in PMC, we shall offer you dozens of cookies :)

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>
