Overview/Features

A combined DVB-C, DVB-T and DVB-T2 USB 2.0 device from Hauppauge with two tuners. Similiar to Hauppauge_WinTV-soloHD.

There are two versions available with the same name that can be distinguished by model number, look and USB device ID:

  • Model 01590: Dual tuner for DVB-C, DVB-T and DVB-T2, has IEC connector, USB device ID 2040:0265.
  • Model 01595: Dual tuner for ATSC and clear QAM, has F-connector, USB device ID 2040:026d.

Model 01590 (USB device ID 2040:0265)

Components Used

Model 01595 (USB device ID 2040:026d)

Components Used

This version of the board is like a USB version of the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2255 PCIe card.

Making it Work

The following part refers specifically to Model 01590 or Model 01595.

Firmware

The Model 01590 demodulator needs a firmware which can be found for example at http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/Si2168/Si2168-B40/4.0.11/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

Drivers

Only the first tuner on Model 01590 device is supported since Kernel 4.7 (see commit https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/drivers/media/usb/em28xx?id=11a2a949d05e9d2d9823f0c45fa476743d9e462b).

Only the first tuner on Model 01595 device is supported since Kernel 4.11 (see commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=1586342e428d80e53f9a926b2e238d2175b9f5b5).

Both tuners on Model 01590 device and Model 01595 device are supported since Kernel 4.17 (see commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/diff/?id=be7fd3c3a8c5e9acbc69f887ca961df5e68cf6f0).

Setting Transfer Mode to bulk

The stick supports two transfer modes: isochronous and bulk, whereas most revisions use the isochronous mode by default. This often leads to artifacts being shown in the video stream when both tuners are active (e.g. when a EPG scan is running in the background). This problem has been confirmed by many users of the VDR (German language, https://www.vdr-portal.de/forum/index.php?thread/133363-gel%C3%B6st-wintv-dualhd-moduloption-um-nur-einen-tuner-zu-nutzen/), but is very likely to occurr with other software as well. You can check the mode your stick is using with dmesg. When the stick is detected there is a line that reads "dvb set to isoc mode" when in isochronous mode, when bulk mode is active, an analogous message is shown. Currently there is no known way to change that mode using a linux command or passing options to the kernel module. The only way to change it is to use a free windows tool provided by the manufacturer Hauppauge: https://www.hauppauge.de/site/support/support_faq.php?n=FAQ.BulkOrIso Please install the windows driver for the stick first, because they need to be installed before running the tool. After changing the mode to "bulk" using this tool, please check the dmesg messages again and verify that it now states "dvb set to bulk mode".
