Actually I think it's dvb-c and dvb-t/t2 so possibly dual-frontend,
which probably would need webcamd from Hans' i4b svn: (at least if
dvb-c is on the second frontend.)

.and once you have a channels.conf from w_scan -X .. in
~/.mplayer/channels.conf you can try mplayer dvb://channelname .
(needs the mplayer port built with the V4L knob enabled.) kaffeine
