Well, this question is 3 weeks old but maybe it could help someone (it would help me). This was tested on Ubuntu 6.06 (final release).
First download firmware from here.
Copy it to /lib/firmware/number_of_your_kernel/

Code:

sudo cp dvb-usb-avertv-a800-02.fw /lib/firmware/number_of_your_kernel/

Plug the device in USB port (if it's plugged then unplug it first )
Blue light on device should light up.

Hardware is working but we need to see some pictures
Install dvb-utils

Code:

sudo apt-get install dvb-utils

make channels.conf
Adopt this line for your place

Code:

scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-Oxford > channels.conf

install mplayer (xine would be better for this but it dont work for me in dapper)

Code:

sudo apt-get install mplayer

copy channels.conf to mplayer config directory

Code:

cp channels.conf ~/.mplayer/

and watch

Code:

mplayer dvb://name_of_your_station
