USB HDTV Creator

A hybrid ATSC USB 2.0 device by OnAir.

Components Used

  • LG Innotek TDVS-H064F (NIM)
    • Infineon TAU6034 (tuner)'
    • NXP/Philips TDA9887 (analog demodulator)
    • LG DT3303 demodulator (digital demodulator)
  • NXP/Philips SAA7115HL (A/V decoder)
  • Cirrus cs53l32a (audio decoder)
  • Lattice LC4128V
  • Cypress FX2LP (CY7C68013A) (USB bridge)

Making it Work

Firmware

The analog portion of the driver may be downloaded directly from AutumnWave's website [2] or it may be extracted using fwextract.pl provided that you follow the directions described here. The firmware included with the 2.6.27-series kernel for the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MPEG2 Encoder/Tuner may work but has not been tested.

Drivers

A change in the 2.6.27 kernel broke a portion of the pvrusb2 module. Until this issue is resolved, it is necessary to load the module manually before connecting the tuner to your computer:

$ sudo modprobe pvrusb2 initusbreset=0

If you intend to use the tuner on a regular basis and are stuck with the 2.6.27 kernel, you may wish to add an entry anywhere in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/

options pvrusb2 initusbreset=0

which automatically loads the module with the specified parameter. This will probably be fixed in later versions of the kernel.
