I ported kplayer exactly for that reason - it works much better (in terms of features) with my DVB-T stick. Before DVB it was the only one doing analog channels properly and with the appropriate config file DVB is a charm. However since we moved out of the city, we don't have good signal. Never mind, I suggest trying another player and if it is not a kernel/driver issue you will enjoy it. regards
