Hello,
this is the book (pdf)
https://ranous.files.wordpress.com/2018/...tv2-18.pdf
I used for installing the drivers, and software, it worked without any issues.
The above book doesn't cover TV though this is for using it as an SDR (software defined radio). Although the device is meant for TV someone noticed years ago it can be hacked and used as a very low cost SDR, equivalent to about $1000+ radio equipment, it is why RTL SDR has became so popular.
Currently also giving rise to its popularity is a distro called Pi-Aware made by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and FlightAware, if you run that on a Pi 24/7 and register the base station FA give you full access and a free enterprise account for your help monitoring the aircraft. If there are not many registered in your area or if the signal is very bad in that area, they send you special equipment for Free if you run the base station server.
Although that makes it easier to set up, it can be set up on various Linux Distros, including Linux Lite, unsure if any of the community do this yet ?
On the Ubuntu link I posted earlier there are 2 solutions shown, the final one is a PPA it gives instructions, copy/paste (or type) these in to terminal one line at a time and press enter, wait for the prompt then enter the next line.
I am not positive ? but it seems from the wording they have added the make file instructions posted earlier in the thread, in to the PPA.
The make file it assembles (compiles) a program in C, to do this you also add it one line at a time and press enter after each line in your terminal.
In the book The Linux Command Line, pdf version free here -

In Chapter 23 , it explains about compiling programs, and there are exercises to practice doing this safely, this chapter is only 9 pages. As I had already done this chapter I felt more positive about giving the instructions in the book a try.
