The USB tv tuner I thought I would get for cheap is

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:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RTL-SDR-FM-DAB-DVB-T-USB-2-0-Digital-TV-Stick-RTL2832U-R820T-Tuner-Receiver-/222264849114?hash=item33c00472da:g:jfcAAOSwYIxX7Ghk
I have not ordered it yet, pending your feedback about it.
See this url on DVB-T:

Also note that the OS requirements (as per the spec) do not include Linux, if
that makes any difference to you.
Also note that the ad (at least one I looked at) is in French--maybe it works
in France.
OTOH: For $6.95, what do you have to lose?

But the driver rtl2832 is reported working in Ubuntu.
Must not be all that hard to port it to Fedora.
Also, it is a module in my currently running kernel.
And report on page https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1905057
that it works.
JD, seeing as how you are coming from a comcast address you will not be able to
receive (quality/modern) TV broadcasts on the dongle. (There is a Windows tool
that VERY poorly receives NTSC signals. There are still some sprinkled around if
you look for them.) It will not receive any legal DTV signal in the US. (I need
to double check; but, I don't believe DVB-T is legal in the US for ham use.
{^_-} If it is legal it'd be fun to get a LimeSDR and setup a digital TV
transmitter.)
