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?
