Hi, I just bought 19 euro Fujitech DVT Pro DVB-T usb stick which
seems to use Realtek RTL2832U chipset. USB stick also includes small
remote control, but I have not tested yet whether that can be used from
linux.

lsusb shows the device as:
1d19:1101 Dexatek Technology Ltd. DK DVB-T Dongle

Driver is not in the mainline kernel, but driver version which builded
ok with 3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2 (mageia) kernel was available in
git://github.com/tmair/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0.git.
According to it's readme the same chipset is also in use with following
other usb sticks:

  DIKOM USB-DVBT HD (ID 1b80:d394)
  NILOX DVB-T Stick N15 (ID 1b80:d393)
  TRUST 16738 (ID 0bda:2832)
  TERRATEC Cinergy T Stick BLACK (ID 0ccd:00a9)
  TX Hollywood DVTB (ID 1d19:1101)
  DIGIVOX mini II v3.0 (ID 1d19:1101)

Installation for me was easy operation with steps written down below:
1) git clone
git://github.com/tmair/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0.git
2) cd
DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/RTL2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0
3) changed KDIR from makefile:
  -KDIR = /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`
  +KDIR =/usr/src/linux-`uname -r`
4) Make
5) Make install
6) Plug the usb stick: --> dvb_usb_rtl2832u module gets loaded
7) scan channels: scan -5 -o vdr /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fi-Kerimaki >
channels.conf

Scan util had from dvb-apps-1.1.1-8.hg1465.1.mga2 had some problems and
to be able to find out all channels, I needed to split the
/usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fi-Kerimaki scan frequence file to multiple smaller
ones each containing single line.

I do not have any idea whether somebody is working at the moment for
trying to get this driver pushed to mainline kernel. At least for me it
has now worked ok for 1 week.
