Have you looked at VideoLAN? I'm not sure wether it can play/record from
TV cards (DVB-T) but if that options is available it is a good multimedia

Mplayer can also work with DVB streams, I guess. And KPlayer could be
another option.

I would first start by launching kaffeine from another user to discard a
configuration problem.
