In case it matters here, I have these cards and am using the driver
built from
	git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
	git clone git@github.com:jaredquinn/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U.git

I get rather reliable tuning with hardly any of the old problems of
zero length recordings of fails to tune  some channels.

I run old fedora 19 though, and things may have deteriorated since?
Last time I needed to build was Jan 31 for kernel 3.14.27-100.fc19.x86_64.
Is this driver included with the kernel these days?

cheers
