Firmware
The firmware for the tuner is the same as for TechnoTrend TT-TVStick CT2-4400#Firmware
The demodulator needs a firmware that can be extracted from the Windows drivers. File ttConnect4650_64.sys should be extracted from the driver package (MD5 sum below).
3464bfc37a47b4032568718bacba23fb ttConnect4650_64.sys
Then the firmware can be extracted:
dd if=ttConnect4650_64.sys ibs=1 skip=273376 count=6424 of=dvb-demod-si2168-a20-01.fw
The easiest option is to download them from OpenELEC firmware collection [1]. Note that when downloading the firmware, you will need to click the Raw button to get the actual binary.
- dvb-demod-si2168-a20-01.fw
- dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw
Place the firmware files under /lib/firmware.
IR Remote Control
The supplied remote control is supported by the driver.
Known issues
Some CAMs require initialization before they will work. Without initialization it's possible that even non-encrypted channels do not work. If there's no CAM inserted, there's no issue.
gnutv could be used to initialize the CAM, for example:
gnutv -timeout 1 -out file /var/tmp/test.ts -channels ~/channels.conf FOX
