The kernel on your laptop (i386) has more drivers installed, than is currently in the OPI's (armhf) kernel (not as bloated). You could try extracting the driver from the laptops kernel & recompile it into the OPI's kernel manually ( I think you create a DIFF file or something to do that).I'd first check out it out on a Raspburry, and see if it's kernel would load the dongle, If so, I'd snag it from there.
Does the OEM offer any firmware patches? And also look at V4L (Video 4 Linux group) they have a lot to offer. It may be as simple as loading V4L from the debian or ubuntu's repository.
There are likely other easier options to what I can offer here, so don't give up too quick, & don't let mine be the final word, I'm no expert. I'm sure eventually this will catch on, as I've got one too.
This dongle offers some real interesting project objectives, other than just watching ATSC TV. SDR (Software Defined Radio) & great radio scanner (Hz to Ghz), & spectrum annalizer for starters.
