I added it to the FAQ.
But on my first attempt to use xine it failed miserably (I needed to
kill -9 it), just because it didn't like some of my channels.conf
entries (generated by scan on Astra). Maybe the xine folks could
improve their code a little.
Is there a way to reduce buffering to improve channel switching speed?
Does it also work for DVB-C and DVB-T?
