Mmmh, but, according to the comment, the dib8000 is isdb-t, I'm looking
for a dvb-t device.
My idea is to do something like this

but using a raspberry pi instead of a windows pc.
Unfortunately, the terratec uses the dib0070 (as do most other usb
sticks with diversity), I see some fields for diversity in dib0070.[hc],
but every report I see it says that it just exposes two frontends and it
doesn't support diversity.
Of course I can buy a ready-made car tuner, but what's the fun in that? ;-)
