Here is the BUg-Report and the way i managed to isntall it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/478379 $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1d19:1101 $ dmesg | tail (regarded on stick-fresh-plugged-in): [ 95.620012] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [ 95.782039] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 95.788734] dvb-usb: found a 'DK DVBT DONGLE' in warm state.

I recognized it registeres 2 adapters!? is that egular behaviour of this stick? $ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/de-Nordrhein-Westfalen - delivers all channels that i know off. example output: >>> tune to: 538000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_4:HIERARCHY_NONE 0x0000 0x4015: pmt_pid 0x0150 RTL World -- RTL Television (running) 0x0000 0x4016: pmt_pid 0x0160 RTL World -- RTL2 (running) 0x0000 0x401b: pmt_pid 0x01b0 RTL World -- Super RTL (running) 0x0000 0x4022: pmt_pid 0x0220 RTL World -- VOX (running) kaffeine scans all channels properly too and i can watch everything probably if i tune my antenna up to 18db, but kaffeine is kde based and i would like to have gnome/gtk based me-tv. Me-TV cannot find ANY channels (0) when i use internal scan: example output of $ me-tv --verbose 08.11.2009 15:15:43: Tuning to transponder at 538000000 Hz 08.11.2009 15:15:43: Auf Signalsperre warten … (translation: waiting for signal lock) 08.11.2009 15:15:55: Poking screensaver 08.11.2009 15:15:58: Status: 0 08.11.2009 15:15:58: Currently tuned to freq 538000000, symbol rate 0, inner fec 2 08.11.2009 15:15:58: Exception: Sperren des Kanals fehlgeschlagen (translation: failed to lock channel) 08.11.2009 15:15:58: Failed to tune to transponder at 538000000 Hz So i tried to import the channels.conf-output that i generated with scan. Me-Tv seems to work, adds all channels, but stucks heavily and cannot show tv properly due to weak signal... The signal truely is high enough, because even increasing to 40db keeps signal on 0%, so something must be wrong with me-tv. To shoot out errors i got the same stick with afatech-9015-chip, that 100% works nice with me-tv on same antenna. So the Rtl2832U nearly works with any application except of me-tv. i really like me-tv and kaffeine is crashing all the time. Any ideas on how to fix that?
