Please help: Me TV doesn't start (why??) and installing totem-plugins-dvb-daemon doesn't show up in Totem itself - so I can't watch TV with Totem.

I installed gnome-dvb-client as well as gnome-dvb-daemon. I can scan for channels via gnome-dvb-setup and even record streams with gnome-dvb-control (and watch these streams later.)

I am looking for an easy to setup and easy to handle way for watching TV in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric. Instead of Unity I chose GNOME-Shell.

I found a bug here: 

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-dvb-daemon/ppa 
 sudo apt-get update 
 sudo apt-get upgrade

Now I can activate the DVB-Plugin in Totem and watch TV. But I have no idea why Me TV doesn't start. I was used to use this program in previous Ubuntu versions and would like to use it again.

This is a bug and was solved by adding a PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-dvb-daemon/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

After that, the user could activate the DVB-Plugin in Totem and watch TV.

have you tried VLC? if you have the frequencies you just need to put them in VLC then it will play.
