+This sounds like complete bogus to me, as the only version of
+me-tv for Mageia 1 and cauldron is 1.3.6, there should be no
+difference at all.
+
+This cauldron install, was it upgraded from mga1, or where did
+the old .me-tv config come from?
+
+But if this problem persists, mostly all me-tv users should face
+it after upgrading from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, so we probably
+need some kind of fix for this ...
