The Terratec H6 is a DVB-C, DVB-T, Analog hybrid USB stick from Terratec. It is not yet supported under Linux, but one can build an operational kernel module from sources and patches.
Overview/Features
- USB 2.0 interface
- Inputs onboard: Antenna, Remote
- Inputs via breakout cable: Composite, S-Video In, Stereo analog audio
- 2-part Sandwich PCB
Components Used
- NXP TDA18271 (tuner)
- Micronas DRX3926 (multistandard demodulator)
- Empia EM2884 (A/V decoder and USB Interface)

Identification
There are at least two versions of this stick. One works out of the box. The other has USB VID:PID 0ccd:10b2, it sometimes identifies itself as Terratec H5 MKII. The stick is very similar to Terratec Cinergy HTC Stick, except the latter has VID:PID 0ccd:00b2.
This listing is a bit long. The serial number, and the typo in the iProduct field has not been edited.

Making it Work
To make the device work, currently you must compile your own kernel modules.
- Get the media_build repository
- Apply experimental patch no. 41130
- Apply experimental patch no. 41131
- Build the v4l project
- Don't forget the firmware
- If everything is in place, plug in the stick
- Check for success or errors by running
dmesg
The device then
- Appears as a /dev/dvb device
- Can list channels with names and all data
- Can tune to specific frequencies
- Can download provider-based EPG
- Can record DVB-C streams to disk. (Tested with tvheadend.)
- DVB-T should work, but not tested
- IR should work, but not tested
Firmware
The stick requires the dvb-usb-terratec-htc-stick-drxk.fw to be placed at /lib/firmware in order to work
This is one link to obtain it from, if the system does not already contain it.
Drivers
By April 2017, there is no out-of-the-box driver. You must build your own by applying these two patches:
