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-tv-dvb
people recommend: vlc, kaffeine
the following were mentioned, too: totem, gxine, mplayer

The link
http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/making-dvb-usb-sticks-and-other-tv-cards-work-linux
(Making DVB-USB-Sticks and other TV cards work with Linux)
recommends to install kaffeine and libxine1-all-plugins
Raspbian has libxine2-all-plugins instead.

My experience was that the Raspbian installation (most up-to-date Jessie
one) recognized the device without the need to install anything further.

I got stuck at failing to find any channels when scanning. Not known
whether it's a problem of bad reception or another problem.
