Please review this article, it has not yet been tested on a clean system.

In Ubuntu 8.10 with a WinTV Nova-T USB Stick. As viewer we will use vlc for a test, later you can move to more sophisticated front-ends like mythtv

Note: There is new firmware available but it has some issues. Feel free to try it.

plug the device in, it should then be visible via "ls /dev/dvb/adapter0"

potentially: in /etc/modprobe.d/options (sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options)
- Add: options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

scan for channels and save results in ~/channels.conf, please adjust the region accordingly, in the example its de-Frankfurt: "scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/de-Frankfurt -o zap | tee ~/channels.conf"

start vlc, Media|open file, select all files and open the ~/channels.conf
you should now be able to tune to different channels using your playlist (Wiedergabeliste)
