When I did a scan on the Hot Bird satellite with Kaffeine, I only found 
10 channels. There was no NIT available at all. After searching for the 
transponder with the NIT info for a while I gave up, loaded the 
transponder file from 
http://joshyfun.peque.org/transponders/kaffeine.html and completed the 
scan..
