A hybrid [[ATSC]] [[ATSC USB Devices|USB 2.0 device]] by [[ATI/AMD]].  

Support for this device was added to the LinuxTV codebase on July 26, 2008 (hg 8492), and was included in the 2.6.27 kernel.

==Overview/Features==
This device supports [[ATSC]] (i.e. [[OTA]] [[Digital TV]]) and analog NTSC.  It also has a connector on the side for an A/V cable dongle.  The package includes a small dipole antenna and a short [[USB]] extension cable.

==Components used:==
* Xceive xc3028LCQ (tuner & analog demodulator)
* LG DT3303 (digital demodulator)
* Texas Instruments tvp5150 (video decoder)
* Empiatech em2883 (USB bridge and analog audio)

===Identification===
The device identifies itself as a "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc" and the subsystem information provided by lsusb -v is 0438:b002. 


==Making it Work==

===Firmware===

In order to use the LinuxTV driver, you need to download and install the firmware. Here is the procedure to follow:

Download the firmware with something like:

 wget http://steventoth.net/linux/hvr1400/xc3028L-v36.fw

copy the file so it can be picked up by the Linux kernel:

 cp xc3028L-v36.fw /lib/firmware

===Drivers===

If you have a kernel later than 2.6.27, then you do not need to install the latest v4l-dvb code.

 Use a recent snapshot of [http://linuxtv.org/repo/ LinuxTV's v4l-dvb drivers]
* Both analog and ATSC digital reception are supported
* Read the above mentioned [[ATI/AMD_TV_Wonder_HD_600_USB#Firmware|Firmware]] section for details on installing the proper firmware.


===Analog Audio Issue===
Analog audio appears to be problematic so you will likely need to employ SOX as a helper application, prior to starting the viewing app, in order to get any sound in popular apps like tvtime etc.

<code>sox -r 48000 -w -c 2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp</code>

The above command did not work for me, but the following command did:

<code>sox -r 48000 -t alsa hw:1,0 -t alsa hw:0,0</code>

Note that there may be an associated delay (i.e. not in sync).

The root of the problem is that the em28xx presents itself as a USB audio device, and applications such as tvtime do not know to associate the video stream with the audio stream.

===Sample kernel output===
One example of dmesg after plugging in the USB.

===Remote Control Support===
The ATI/AMD TV Wonder HD 600 USB ships with a remote control, for which support in the LinuxTV driver was added in hg version 9629 (November 16, 2008). 

===MythTV Recognition===
MythTV 0.22 (and likely older versions) default to support this device as an Analog V4L capture card.  You will need to change it to a DVB DTV Capture card to work in the US with digital ATSC broadcasts and be able to scan and find channels.
