I can confirm that it works with Windows (same stick, on the same machine).
There seem to be two problems:

a) Can Kaffeine display HD TV? If not there's not much to do short of looking 
for another program.

b) How can I create a new program list, as w_scan crashes (so badly that it 
locks the machine competely).

I'll take a look at the v4l list. thanks.
