Thread: How to install dvb-t card based on Realtek chip in kernel 3.0.0 & 3.1.0 & 3.2.0

due plenty of written modification of realtek rtl2831 , realtek rtl2832 driver on internet , on forum, not work past ubuntu 10.04 lts, , few work in relases after exact card model..
choose post here procedure work under actual ubuntu releases dvb-t cards based on realtek chip.
list down under.

there simple way make rtl2832u driver working in ubuntu kernel 3.0.0 ,kernel 3.1.0 , kernel 3.2.0(with small edit),that means lot of dvb-t cards,regardless usb dvb-t or pci dvb-t realtek chip work under ubuntu 11.10 , under ubuntu 12.04 lts have arive soon.
"not tv" -lifeview lv5tdlx 1 of cards.
test "not tv lv32tdlx"(two tuners) on ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.0.0 , work fine.
list of codes(pid & vid) of supported manufacturer , models of cards add too,but list growing..as 10tuners supported.

original realtek rtl2832u chipset (dvb/dab) linux 2.6.x driver rel. 2.2.2 , "full" version

realtek (as company)
xgazza
skaman
gennar1
ambrosa

procedure valid kernel 3.0.0 , kernel 3.1.0
means can use in ubuntu 11.10
copy & paste, line line in terminal following enter --> newbie friendly

code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)  sudo apt-get install git  git clone https://github.com/ambrosa/dvb-realt...nel-3.0.0.git*  cd dvb-realtek-rtl2832u-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0  cd rtl2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0  make clean  make  sudo make install

now time make restart of computer or type in terminal

code:

sudo reboot

thats it! end of story.

if wish check if driver loaded type

code:

lsmod | grep dvb

you should someting like..

dvb_usb_rtl2832u 341269 0
dvb_usb 23788 1 dvb_usb_rtl2832u
dvb_core 94826 1 dvb_usb

what means driver rtl2832u loaded , working.

dvb-t aplication recognize dvb-t card.
next scan available dvb-t chanels.
player kaffeine can use dvb-t card,and show tv , have scan dvb channels built in,i recommend use.

driver depends of particular model of card open fm radio , dab radio if card have support it.mine do.

enjoy watching & recording dvb-t.. .. , listening & recording fm radio or dab radio.

bad luck,here in place in croatia,there no dab signal,whatever..sorry if miss-spell something,english not native language..
enjoy in dvb-t
...buntu...to

i have tried instructions , not work me (i use oneiric kernel 3.0.0-14). according lsusb device is:

bus 001 device 007: id 0bda:2831 realtek semiconductor corp. rtl2831u dvb-t

should work according instructions. compile, run "sudo make install" , no error message. however, when "lsmod|grep dvb" nothing happens. and, of course, dvb-t card not work...
ideas?
thanks,
