What exactly do you need (sorry for picking this up so late)?

Todays experience as posted in the forum:

Cauldron 64-bit with all updates. KDE. "Real" installation on a Samsung R530.
Adapter Happauge Nova-T, firmware: dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw in
/lib/firmware, plugging in the adapter gives success message in
syslog: "Hauppauge Nova-T in warm state"

Installed is me-tv (including dependencies):

    me-tv-1.3.6-3.mga2
    dvb-apps-1.1.1-8.hg1465.1.mga2
    lib64unique1.0_0-1.1.6-6.mga2
    lib64dvbapps-1.1.1-8.hg1465.1.mga2

After installation and starting the application me-tv shows a message
that the existing Me-Tv database is to old to be used by this version.
Option "Cancel" ends the whole application, clicking on "Erase old
Me-Tv data" the messagebox runs into a freeze which crashes the whole
application. In the konsole this looks like:

    $ me-tv -v
    Me TV 1.3.6

and that's it.

In MGA1 Me-TV works nicely with the same adapter. In MGA1 the package
is me-tv-1.3.6-1.1.mga1 - in MGA2 the packages is me-tv-1.3.6-3.mga2
