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 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...
