rtl2832u is still a problem on older kernels. Works fine otb for 3.11 e.g on Ubuntu 13.10 but I am trying to get this module compiled for any kernel that will work on sun4i i.e. armv7 such as 3.10.25 which is good on raspberry pi. The source files for the module are not available on kernel 3.4 at sunxi and neither 3.10-reference nor experimental/sunxi-3.10 will boot. Is 3.13 from Hans de Goede likely to be a better prospect?
Thanks for any pointers.

Title:
  Ubuntu does not work with rtl2832u-dvb-t-chip

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  Ok, installing the driver of this chip wasn't that easy but following
  several "finnish"-howtos i managed to succesfully build v4l-dvb driver
  for the rtl2832u-chiped MSI Digivox mini II V3.0.

  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 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:

  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...
