Simplest way to watch TV (DVB-T USB card) on Ubuntu?

[Gilles Gravier]

Hi gang!

So... I'm looking for the simplest way, on a Ubuntu laptop to plug a USB
DVB-T card, and watch TV from it. What's the minimal fuss solution? Not
looking for something fancy that will turn the machine into a full
fledged media server (though if that's what it takes, well... I'll
resort to that).

On Windoze, most of these cards come with a driver and a piece of
software that does TV viewing (and time-shifting and hard disk
recording, which I don't really need - but will accept if it comes with
the Ubuntu way as well)

Thanks in advance,
Gilles.
