A hybrid ATSC USB 2.0 device by Evga.


Overview/Features

This device supports ATSC (i.e. OTA Digital TV) and analog NTSC. The package includes a small telescoping monopole antenna and a short USB extension cable, a remote control, and a connector to svideo or composite video inputs.

Components used:

  • (tuner & analog demodulator)
  • (digital demodulator)
  • (video decoder)
  • Empiatech em2883 (USB bridge and analog audio)

Identification

The device identifies itself as a "eMPIA Technology, Inc" and the subsystem information provided by lsusb -v is ebla:2883.


Making it Work

This tuner is very difficult to get to find channels when scanning OTA ATSC. There is a thread about getting it to work which assuming you are familiar with the concept of frequency lists, as defined in /usr/share/dvb/atsc is very helpful at http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=134023

Making it work is pretty simple, below is a simple modification to the standard ATSC frequency list which has the wrong center frequencies for this tuner. Copy the below test to a text file and save it in /usr/share/dvb/atsc as indicated below. From then on be sure to specify this file when scanning for channels with scan:
