Revision as of 12:58, 18 September 2009
On this page you will find information regarding DVB-T USB devices.
- The information contained here is likely non-exhaustive and, despite best efforts to do otherwise, may contain errors. (Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!)
- If your device is not listed, try:
- searching the existing mailing list archives:
- searching for information with Google or other internet search engine
- by posting a question about the device directly to the LMML (but please do conduct a search first, as it may already have been discussed!)
- Note: when it comes to support, it is generally a good idea to try the current V4L-DVB sources because some device drivers can be very new and thus may have not made their way into the mainstream kernel.
- In any regard, in respect to the above listed suggestions, you may find it to be the case that your device is actually already supported or that experimental support is available.
- Because the component constitution on many devices are often similar or identical, there may be devices that are unlisted but may actually work with the existing driver framework for previously supported devices. In such a case, your non-listed but working device will likely be reported in your system messages as being one of those previously supported devices. If you encounter such an occurrence, please do report your success on the LMML so that proper detection/identification of your device can be added within the drivers.
- Lastly, it bears worth repeating the request: Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!
Firmwares
Many of the devices on this page need a firmware. If I'm not mistaken, I've collected all of them (july 2009) in this file: 7-zip file: 728KiB download.

DiB0700 USB2.0 DVB-T devices
All devices below will be fully supported by the LinuxTV drivers very soon. The following modules are needed for these devices:
- dib7000m.ko - dib7000p.ko - dib3000mc.ko - mt2060.ko - mt2266.ko - dvb-usb.ko - dvb-usb-dib0700.ko
These frontend(s)/demodulator(s) can be found in various revisions of this device:
- DiBcom DiB7000P, DiBcom DiB7000PC
Comment: In case someone is opening the device, one can find the DiB7700-chips (B/C/D), which is demodulator and USB in one silicon. There is also a package called the DiB7070P where the DiB7000PC is the DVB-T demodulator, DiB0070 is the RF tuner. The USB firmware used is the same for all devices.
The dvb-usb-dib0700 module has a parameter which forces the activation of LNAs (Low Noise Amplifier). If you have reception problems you can try to load the module with force_lna_activation=1 and see if it works better. Normally the LNA is controlled automatically by software so, in general, there should be no need to force activation. If a device has an LNA, it is shown in the table below; for those which have no LNA, this parameter has no meaning.

| It seems that some TwinhanDTV Alphas(rev 7045A) need newer firmware. 7045A sticks have another frontend and need another firmware. The 7045A frontend is tda10046 based. The symptoms are that they can not find any channels. Consequently, they are unusable at the moment. See these posts for more details: [57][58][59][60] | ||||

WideView/Yakumo/Hama/Typhoon/Yuan Boxes and Pens
All devices below are fully supported by the LinuxTV driver. The following drivers are needed for these devices:
- dvb-usb.ko - dvb-usb-dtt200u.ko
These frontend(s)/demodulator(s) can be found in various revisions of this device:
- Zarlink MT352 - The new units use the Zarlink ZL10353 instead of MT352 - for pentype design it is unknown (but it doesn't matter at all)
The programming of the MT352 is hidden behind the USB protocol defined within the firmware. These boxes can only deliver part of the Transport Stream (using a hardware PID filter); it is not known how to deactivate this. (The driver was completely reverse-engineered without the help of its real vendor (assuming WideView is the manufacturer). UPDATE: the vendor was so kind to provide information about unknown commands, hence the driver is complete.
There is apparently another Yakumo model not covered:
Hi, I've purchased a "Yakumo Quickstick TV easy" and it doesn't work after compiling and installing the modules. Its vendor and product id ara 0x14aa and 0x620, and it does not appear in modules.usbmap. So I think it's not defined... ßingen.
Firmware: The firmware for the rev 3 Freecom sticks (dvb-usb-wt220u-fc03.fw) can be obtained from here [62]. Rev 4 doesn't work yet, see below.
Warning: When checking the table below, check the USB ID to see if you have an old or new revision of the firmware.

Zappa DVB-T USB LR523
Seems to be equal to the LifeView TV Walker DVB-T Q LR506 http://www.bandaancha.st/foros.php?temid=592815#633106
lsusb also reveals (idVendor 0x10fd Anubis Electronics, Ltd) and the idProduct is 0x0513, don't know if the usdbid is the same that the Walker LR506 but it's the same that the Lifeview TV Walker Twin.
Zappa LR523 have TDA10046A and a uli m9206 and a Philips 8275AC1 below the ir reciever.
It works in ubuntu >=8.04. With ubuntu 8.04 it's detected as Walker Twin but the firmware is correctly loaded because the integrated are the same but instead 2x philips the zappa have only one. Then appear adapter0 and adapter1 in dvb devices, with kaffeine then only 0 is shown and with MythTV both are shown but when selecting 1 insted of detectind as Philips TDA10046 tunner it says unkown error. When scanning channels with kaffeine snr is at 100% practicaly all the time. When the scanning is finished all the channels in my region has been detected and then it work perfect.
When the usb is plugged this is shown in /var/log/messages:

Currently Unsupported DVB-T USB Devices
However, please note that inquiries to the mailing list:
- Should NOT be treated as an order drop-off queue. You're soliciting help from volunteer developers who work on V4L-DVB matters in their spare time, and such work can be non-trivial (i.e. requiring even thousands of hours work). So being demanding is one sure route to being ignored. (Honestly, this point really shouldn't even need to be written, but you'd be surprised at the number of irrational individuals who write into the mailing list demanding this or that).
- May pass without garnering a response—a distinct byproduct of the fact that there are a limited number of developers, whom might be able to help, that are associated with the project. Often times, even if they wished to help, their energies are entirely tied up with other projects. In such cases, the best path might be to try to spearhead the driver development for your device yourself, or hire someone who can.
ASUS My Cinema-U3000
The U3000 (!= U3000 Mini) device is currently unrecognized by the Linux kernel. It is supposedly based on the dib3000p chipset. Picture and USB-info can be found here
Freecom rev 4 DVB-T USB 2.0 tuner
The latest Freecom/Yacumo usb stick has a Realtek 2831U chipset and any of the following usb id's: 14aa:0160, 0bda:2831, 2304:022b, 185b:0100, 13d3:3216, 13d3:3220, 13d3:3236, 13d3:3244, 08dd:2103. Latest Windows drivers dates january 2007 and can be downloaded at freecom.com If anyone has any info on how to get these to work or if a specific firmware works, please add it here.
Chipset info at http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=35&Level=4&Conn=3&ProdID=147
UPDATE: Realtek submitted a v0.0.2 of their driver feb 20th 2008. This has been confirmed to function for this Freecom (or Conceptronic) stick with usb id: 14aa:0160 on a 2.6.22.17 kernel. This stick has a MT2061F tuner chip, but this driver also supports the MLX5005 tuner chip. No additional firmware file is needed.
The driver source can be downloaded from [99], but be aware it has only be confirmed to work on devices with usb id 14aa:0160.
For easier installation you can use [100]. Just unpack and do a make and sudo make install.
GeniaTech T328B DVB-T
- uses the Afatech AF9015
- My TVisto clone of this usb works with kernel 2.6.28 by only copying the firmware af9015 to /lib/firmwares, this should be tested by someone that have one GeniaTech and if it works (I'm sure), then should be promoted to supported.
Geniatech T328 DVB-T
- chip: MT2060F, CY7C68013A and ZL10353. usb id: 04b4:8613.
- It seems that this usb stick uses the same chips as FREEcom DVB-T usb stick and Yakumo Quickstick basic, but they have different usb id.
LifeView TV Walker DVB-T (P/Q/Hybrid)
P Stick
- Now it doesn't exist in the Lifeview's page, not in discontinued products and not in External TV solutions, only a P Plus but I suppose that is different like the Q (now unsupported) and the Q PLus in External TV solutions. ¿Somebody can confirm this and also put info about the new product of lifeview if they're different?
