Well, the alarm was not so false as it seemed at first sight. Strangely
DVB-T worked after uninstalling the firmware package, but not for long.
After a few reboots of the system, the DVB-T adapter was not found
anymore, so I concluded that there is actually no driver in the kernel
but some remnants of the firmware package might have been left after
unstalling to make DVB-T work. Anyhow, I have no real idea, what made
the adapter work.

Now the situation is this: I have installed the firmware package and the
adapter is working. I can only use VLC as a client. Totem cannot read
its own configuration file and Kaffeine doesn't show any programs at
all. In VLC I have full access to all selected programs. BUT: after some
time (something between five and fifteen minutes, never constant)
without any obvious cause first the sound disappears and then I have to
be quick to close VLC or I'll get a complete system freeze within
seconds. I can only "shut down" the machine by disconnecting it from the
power supply. This happens always, only the delay between starting VLC
and the crash varies.

  worked like charm in Lucid but no more for Maverick and Natty.
