Hi Rahul,

If you are talking about the tv.xine plugin this does not support live
pause. tv.ivtv_xine (for IVTV based PVR cards) and the tv.livepause plugin
both support live pause. If you want live pause with DVB you will need to
use the tv.livepause plugin (and tv.dvbstreamer.record for recording). 
For this you will also need to get and build/install dvbstreamer (from
www.dvbstreamer.org).  If however you just want live tv (no pause) you can
use tv.xine.

In both case you will need to generate a channels.conf using the linuxtv
scan utility. This takes a configuration file specify where the signals
are, unfortunately while there appears to be lots of example config files
for Europe and Australia and New Zealand there doesn't appear to be any.

Not a big problem as you can use the w_scan utility to generate the
channels.conf file it just takes a little longer:

w_scan -X > channels.conf

Once you've done that for the tv.xine plugin copy the channels.conf to
~/.xine
For tv.livepause you will need to setup dvbstreamer and then start it:

(this only needs to be done once)
setupdvbstreamer -t channels.conf

followed by (every boot):

dvbstreamer -d

You will also need to configure your TV_CHANNELS in local_conf.py (for
both plugins)
