I'm using BlazeDTV 3.5 with my USB DVB-T stick which is not the same as
yours.It has loads of features and I don't think the brand of stick matters.

This works well with my old Freecom stick.

Needs the BDA drivers available from Freecom

http://www.dvbviewer.com/en/index.php

Not free though (15 Euro)

Does not come with MPEG decoder, if you have a copy of PowerDVD installed, 
it
will use that.

I shall assume you're using XP Home or Pro.

Download the BDA drivers from:
http://www.freecom.com/objects/00008584.zip

Then download ProgDVB from:
http://download.progdvb.com/ProgDVB5.15.8Std.exe

Ask me nicely if you wish to use this stick with Linux instead.

Jamie.
