Change done for Kaffeine 2.0.3: Kaffeine will now download the scanfile from: 
https://linuxtv.org/downloads/dtv-scan-tables/kaffeine/

There is a script at linuxtv.org that automatically re-generate the file, once 
by day, when new patches are applied at the dtv-scan-tables git tree.

So, all the user needs to do, when either new channels are added on some City, 
or when new Satellite beams are added, is to run either dvbv5-scan or w_scan, 
to generate the new scan file and submit to [email protected]. After 
reviewed by the maintainer, the new patch will be added and will be ready to be 
upload on the next day, by clicking at the "Update scan data over Internet" 
button at the "Configure Television" menu.
