just to mark there is no more issue on this and close this topic ,as
dvbt based cards on this chip works with mod of Ambrosa mentioned above
,and that workaround is so wide tested on ubuntu international ,and my
local ubuntu forum, and even is orginally made to work with kernels for
64bit machine,with add of headers can work on kernel for 32bit, as i
personally test on both and on wide range NOT ONLY TV branded usb and
pci cards, only on some cards extra feature of digital radio on some of
them can not be enabled with just this  solution.. one more thanks to
mr. ambrosa and all those what he mentioned (inside).and list of vids
and pids which can and work with his or sligtlly modded his solution is
much more wider.Just as long as this chip is inside.

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.

  lsusb:

  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 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...
