First, thanx for testing :)
Did you make install, needed to have kaxtv's icons installed ?
This button is the top-left one on the dvbpanel (tooltiped "channels").

kaxtv doesn't use the xine dvb plugin(i may disable it). you have first to add 
channels (or better scan) by clicking on the "channels" button to get your 
channels in the dvbpanel's listbox. (channels.kax will be stored in ~/.kaxtv)
then double click on one.

while the device is used by xine dvb plugin, kaxtv can't open it, so can't get 
card info.
