Using DVB-T on Raspberry Pi (was: Re: Up-to-date hardware recommendation (this time, USB DVB-T dongle)?)

Few weeks ago I asked about recommendations for a USB DVB-T dongle. Meanwhile I ordered and received DVB-T+DAB+FM D037C-04. Now the task is to make it work with Raspberry Pi using Raspbian. According to the link http://askubuntu.com/questions/20204/which-application-do-you-recommend-for-watching-

You can find very cheap ones on eBay for ~$8-10. The most popular ones are based on the R820T(2) tuner, and perform very well. Also suitable for RTL-SDR [1] applications. There are more expensive dongles in the $25 range but aren't neccesary unless you care about performance charecteristics. [1]
