The RTL-SDR hardware began its life as a DVB-T TV receiver USB stick, but these days it is rarely used for this purpose. However, in countries where DVB-T hasn't been upgraded to DVB-T2 it is still possible to use the RTL-SDR for TV reception.

Recently, RADIOTO bg from DXing.org wrote in and wanted to share with us his video showing how to use the RTL-SDR V3 for DVB-T reception in OpenPli Enigma2. OpenPli is an open-source Linux distribution for TV set-top boxes and Enigma2 is the TV application it runs.

RADIOTO's video shows a step-by-step guide to setting up the RTL-SDR in OpenPli. The procedure is relatively simple, just requiring the user to select the correct driver for the RTL-SDR via the set-top menu.
