Hello, I tried to compile the v4l-dvb (DVB-T) drivers for PINE64 (ARM64 running Debian jessie with custom kernel 3.10.104-1-pine64-longsleep #103). Currently the PINE64 kernel is still at 3.10 kernel, because of the SoC compatibility. I did follow the manual explanation for ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVB-T_%28USB%29 PINE64 board specifications are: http://linux-sunxi.org/Pine64 - SoC A64 @ 1152MHz - DRAM 2GiB DDR3L @ 672MHz - USB 2 x USB 2.0 - HDMI port My storage is on a 64 GB micro-SD card. The DVB-T USB dongle is a "RTL-SDR Blog R820T2 RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio" from http://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/ After I compiled all drivers, I tried to load them with modprobe (I also tried to optionally rmmod all the other ir_* modules, which might be interfering) : # modprobe rtl2832 # modprobe dvb_usb_rtl28xxu # dmesg report is: [59570.134994] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_rtl28xxu [59995.218466] lirc_dev: module unloaded [60052.126759] usbcore: deregistering interface driver dvb_usb_rtl28xxu [60070.533355] usb 1-1: dvb_usb_v2: found a 'Realtek RTL2832U reference design' in warm state [60070.598372] usb 1-1: dvb_usb_v2: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer [60070.608807] dvbdev: DVB: registering new adapter (Realtek RTL2832U reference design) [60070.621918] rtl2832 2-0010: Range 0: selector for 0 in window [60070.628377] rtl2832: probe of 2-0010 failed with error -22 [60070.644011] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_rtl28xxu [60249.342718] usbcore: deregistering interface driver dvb_usb_rtl28xxu [60304.611609] WARNING: You are using an experimental version of the media stack. As the driver is backported to an older kernel, it doesn't offer enough quality for its usage in production. Use it with care.

Same problem described in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109521 with 'WideView WT-220U PenType Receiver (Typhoon/Freecom)', but with another kernel (Linux version 4.9.0-rc5-1.g8930e43-default (geeko@buildhost)). Maybe there is a connection?
