If it will not work, what does work with tvtime ?
PS: I was thinking of watching digital VHF/UHF broadcasts.
I used to use tvtime several years ago, when it was strictly an analog system.
I haven't followed later developments. The url also says the device is
analog. I don't know how many analog tv signals will still exist in your
area; perhaps fm radio.

Hi Stan, Doug and John,
I found this RTL-SDR FM+DAB DVB-T USB 2.0 Digital TV Stick RTL2832U + R820T
Tuner Receiver at:

I have not ordered it yet, pending your feedback about it.
I installed these rpms (along with their dependencies:
gr-osmosdr x86_64
gr-osmosdr-devel x86_64
gr-osmosdr-doc noarch
rtl-sdr x86_64
texlive-sdrt noarch
texlive-sdrt-doc noarch
Installing for dependencies:
PyOpenGL noarch
PyQwt x86_64
gnuradio x86_64
gnuradio-devel x86_64
python-cheetah x86_64
python-markdown noarch
python-pygments noarch
qwt x86_64
qwt5-qt4 x86_64
scipy x86_64
texlive-xyling noarch
texlive-xypic noarch
texlive-xytree noarch
uhd x86_64
What else do I need installed?
Might I make three suggestions?
First, visit http://www.rtl-sdr.com and check out their V.3 dongle,
http://www.rtl-sdr.com/new-rtl-sdr-blog-units-now-available-in-store-hf-via-direct-sampling-software-switchable-bias-tee-less-noisespurs/";
They are garden variety DVB-T dongles of the correct sort for use in SDR work.
Second check out the ultra-cheap-sdr google group mailing list. It is dedicated
to both Linux and Windows uses.
Third, you might be interested in snarfing up Leif Asbrink's "Linrad". It is a
nice, if complicated, piece of work.
Those three suggestions should get you well on your way to getting some form of
SDR working on your system without a lot of the Gnu Radio aches and pains and
about as clean an 8 bit SDR dongle as you can get.
