Ah, yes, this is another solution ;)
Btw, openSUSE Tumbleweed now have Kaffeine 2.0.

There were a bug on the script that auto-generates scanfile.dvb that were
adding 4
blank lines in the middle of the scanfile. That hits another bug on Kaffeine <
2.0 that makes it to understand the blank lines as the end of the file. Both
bugs were fixed on 2.0.
Maybe, what openSUSE did were to remove those 4 blank lines. Not sure, though,
as I didn't double-checked it.

There were some bugs on parsing DVB-S2 channels that got fixed. On the latest
file, Astra3 has 32 DVB-S channels and 16 DVB-S2 ones.
Btw, the new scanfile.dvb is now automatically synced, once by week, with the
upstream tree that holds the channel lists, hosted at linuxtv.org:
https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/
and the auto-generated file:
https://autoconfig.kde.org/kaffeine/scantable.dvb.qz
and
https://linuxtv.org/downloads/dtv-scan-tables/kaffeine/

Sure. If are there any channels missing, please submit to the
linux-me...@vger.kernel.org mailing list (no subscription required), with
"[PATCH] dtv-scan-files: " in the subject.
The patch should be against the dtv-scan-files git tree
(https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/).
