General USB DVB-T
After trying to install my Winfast DVB-T USB Dongle for a while i thought it might be a good idea to share the information how i get it done here, notice that it will work for most other USB-DVB-T devices although, i've tried this on edgy/kubuntu, but i think it will work on older versions too. It wasn't to hard after all, just to find the information took some time.
Generally i just had to figure out, which chip was used on my device, which can be found here:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_USB
(just hit ctrl-f in firefox or konqueror and look for your device). In case your device isn't listed here, it might already be supported by default, try this documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV.
Else copy the firmware for your card to /lib/firmware/ from here:
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/
Then i just followed this guide:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB#Solution_with_v4l_manual_installation
(Note that the procedure called "Solution for new kernels (2.6)" didnt work for my card). For your convenience, i will post a short guide:
Get the required packages ($ means your home directory in the shell) (EDIT: '$' actually just means you're an unprivileged user; make sure to check your path. '~' signifies your home directory. e.g. bob@computer:~$ means you're logged in as bob (an unprivileged user) on computer and that you're currently working in your home directory):
$ sudo apt-get install mercurial linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
Fetch source code:
$ hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
Change to the directory created before:
$ cd v4l-dvb
Compile the code (takes some time):
sudo make
Install the compiled code:
sudo make install
Restart your system.
Now you can start kaffeine and it should automatically detect your DVB-T tuner.
If you don't have kaffeine installed you just need to:
sudo apt-get install kaffeine
Although kaffeine is a KDE app it will work fine on GNOME.
