The default one is missing vital stuff like xine-extracodecs which is part of kaffeine and without which the dvb functions have no sound, (it was left out). You could try the repository string I mentioned, which was accurate, replacing us with gb. I have downloaded sun stuff via the gui and had the eula appear, but this is probably not always the case, and even when it is it tends to be hidden behind stuff and you need to be observant and minimize everything else.
