Hi Basil.

I have tried xine and while it works it is for want of ma better description 
clunky the channel selection is poor the whole control setup needs a good 
looking over  and i have to edit out a lot of fluff that gets into the 
channels.conf file   where as Kaffeine once again finds the channels  no extra 
fluff or junk and bang works  , There was a KDE base update that did the trick 
for me   I am going to mail the other peter and see if he has updated  his box 
and suggest he tries it  see if it solves his Kaffeine problems as well .

Pete .
