This is how I installed and configured Terratec Cinergy T USB XXS DVB-T receiver on my multimedia PC.
Please note that the drivers integrated into the official Linux kernels do not have support for the Cinergy T USB XXS at this time. However, there is support for this device in the linuxtv.org v4l-dvb drivers (added on 2008-03-29). This means you must build the drivers yourself to make this device work in Linux.
lsusb Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0ccd:0078 TerraTec Electronic GmbH
Output from the lsusb -v command is here.
Activate the universe repository in /etc/apt/sources.list and then install the latest updates before starting. Make sure you reboot if you are instructed to do so.
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
sudo aptitude install mercurial build-essential linux-source linux-headers-generic
In this example I used SRCDIR=${HOME} but you can select whatever directory you prefer. Leaving SRCDIR undefined is same as using ${HOME}.
# Location of the sources
export SRCDIR=${HOME}
# Either check out a new copy
cd ${SRCDIR}
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
# or update the existing copy
cd ${SRCDIR}
cd v4l-dvb
hg pull -u http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd /lib/firmware sudo wget http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/files/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw
cd ${SRCDIR}/v4l-dvb
sudo make clean
make
sudo make install
After reboot you should see the dvb directory and some device nodes in it. Make sure you are member of the video group or you will not be able to use the device driver.
