Feature:Sticks with this combination (RTL2832 + R820T) are relatively new on
the market. The main difference to all the other supported tuners so

Zero-IF. That means the tuner is only connected to the In-Phase ADC
input, and the internal down converter of the RTL2832 is generating the
complex samples. This has the benefit of having no DC offset spike in
the middle of the spectrum.
