Kaffeine
kaffeine is a Media Player written in qt3 (the devs are currently busy porting it to qt4) based on the xine engine. It works with dvb-s/s2/c/t devices and supports plugins.
Latest available Version of the qt3 branch is 0.8.8, and has some great highlights like DVB-S2 support (s2api), some DiseqC fixes and an adjustable live-ringbuffer option.

Kaffeine 0.8.8 ChangeLog
- this binary kaffeine is the "unrestricted" build with lame mp3 encoding Support (this build was usually distributed via the medibuntu repository, but it seems kaffeine got dropped from there.)
- the xine-engine for Kaffeine is included in the main package, if you want additional gstreamer support, install the kaffeine-gstreamer package
- for DVB-S2 support install latest v4l-dvb hg first!
Channellists:
copy the channels.dvb file [and the icons folder] to ~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine. You can edit your channels.dvb file in a text editor.
