USB stick DVB-T TV on Ubuntu

First of all, download Video4Linux (V4L which holds all the development drivers):
sudo apt-get git mkdir v4l cd v4l git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
now compile :
cd media_build/ sudo apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl ./build
Check that it compiled successfully, if not download missing packages and repeat the ./build command until it succeeds (I was needed to install libproc-processtable-perl so I already wrote it above )
When compiled successfully, install it with :
sudo make install
get the firmware [ In this case I’m install IT9135 Chipset ], unzip, inflate and install it :
cd .. wget http://www.ite.com.tw/uploads/firmware/v3.6.0.0/dvb-usb-it9135.zip unzip dvb-usb-it9135.zip dd if=dvb-usb-it9135.fw ibs=1 skip=64 count=8128 of=dvb-usb-it9135-01.fw dd if=dvb-usb-it9135.fw ibs=1 skip=12866 count=5817 of=dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw sudo cp dvb-usb-it9135-0* /lib/firmware/
Now reboot,
If all goes well you should see a success in dmesg (it might be slightly different for you but should not see Error line) :
dmesg | grep dvb
