I had a real pain trying to find a concise solution to getting my Freecom v4 DVB-T USB dongle to work on my system:
Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) - Desktop (on Asus Eee PC 901)
uname -r: 2.6.28-18-generic
lsusb: Bus 001 Device 013: ID 14aa:0160 AVerMedia (again) or C&E
It appears I needed the device driver, and after hours of trawling through outdated chatty forums and web searching I found this:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Realtek_RTL2831U
NOTES:
- use the latest mecurial repository mentioned, which is currently: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/rtl2831u/
- The CLI command should be:
Got it running straight off with Kaffiene sudo apt-get install kaffeine
though it will also run with many others like MythTv, VLC, etc.
I hope this helps !!
Further reading:
This device driver apparently supports the following device IDs:
