I haven't used an rtl2832 for tv reception, so I don't know what
packages you need installed. rtl-sdr is a good one to have because it
provides a library api to the device, and will probably be used by any
application programs.
I see this in the page you pointed to.
Note:
Please make sure your region can receive DVB-T signal.
Can you receive digital signals in your area? In my area, they need a
tall antenna because the transmitter is partially blocked. Unless you
live very close to the transmitter, I doubt the little antenna that
comes with this will work. It should work for fm with a reasonably
strong signal (in an urban area).
This page seems to be from someone who has done what you want to do.
