You might need to ask the question against the linuxtv-dvb-apps package instead?

The DVB card was locked from mythtv backend

I have just found this solved my problem with Kaffeine.

I had tried for many days to set up Mythtv with little success. While I did finally get it going, I found that it is not yet capable of diseqc control of a motorised dish which I require. I installed Kaffeine and this worked at once including diseqc control! :-D

I now realise I must have tried again to get Mythtv to work since the next time I started my computer Kaffeine gave me this same message: no suitable device found.

Thanks "mauge" for posting the cause of the problem. I ran mythtv backend setup again and deleted my capture card. Thereafter Kaffeine worked perfectly again. :-D
