I couldn't get my USB DVB-T stick to work, and searching DVB on the Kubuntu forum produces no results.
And so I went hunting and eventually came up with the following which works, and I thought it may be useful to others.
Step 1. Get the firmware for your device. Look here http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices or here http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/
Step 2. Copy it to /lib/firmware
Step 3. Fire up a terminal and do this $ sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential patchutils libproc-processtable-perl
Step 4. Then this $ git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
Step 5. Then this $ cd media_build (this takes a while)
Step 6. Then this $ ./build
Step 7. Then this $ sudo make install
Step 8. Finally this $ sudo apt-get install libxine1-all-plugins
Step 9. Reboot machine
Step 10. Do this $ sudo apt-get install kaffeine
Step 11. Launch Kaffeine and go Television/Configure Television/Device 1/ set Source to Autoscan and set Name to Terrestrial (even although it is digital TV) click OK
Step 12. Go Television/Channels select Start Scan
Step 13. Once scan complete, hold Ctrl key down and click on all the channels you want. Then click on the Add Selected button.
Step 14. You are done. :cool:
