==Making it Work==

The Terratec Cinergy TStick RC HD works with [https://github.com/ambrosa/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/ Ambosa's RTL2832U driver]
It won't find any channel with the included antenna, but when connected to
the aerial outlet (building antenna) it works fine with occassional square noise
or very short cuts (maybe more often in HD channels ???).

Can't test very often, because it's at a friend's, not mine.

I haven't found an email address to tell Ambrosa and I don't have
a GitHub account, maybe someone who has can send a link to the GitHub forum?

The system I tested is a Debian squeeze, with a custom compiled linux-libre 3.2.1.

I followed

[https://github.com/ambrosa/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/blob/master/README this readme]

(except I used

KBUILD_SRC=/home/[...]/linux-3.2.1 make

instead of

make

) and applied the following patch (simply add the vendor and device ids )

===Firmware===

I haven't copied any firmware and I doubt linux-libre would have
loaded it. I think it works without any firmware file.
Didn't check if there is any firmware somehow embedded in the
source I compiled or it's simply shipped already on the usb stick.

===Drivers===

[https://github.com/ambrosa/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/ Ambosa's RTL2832U driver]
modified with the vendor and device Id.

It says GPL but I haven't researched the source, authorship attributions or changelog.
