There are 3 versions of this device - each has a different VID:UID: |

Be advised that a different variant of the same named device/model exists, containing different hardware components and presently not supported. [http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg38402.html] [http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg38617.html] |

==Note== |
|||
------------------------------------------------------------- |
|||
The U-shaped clear plastic covering the USB-end of the stick (visible in the image above) interferes with the USB plug and makes it difficult to form a firm connection into a USB socket. For a solid connection this should be removed or sanded down. |
|||
Kworld ub435-q USB TV Tuner Now Works in Xubuntu and Kaffeine |
|||
------------------------------------------------------------- |
|||
As the stick is known to run somewhat warm, removing it, or the entire case, may be worthwhile. |
|||
With Xubuntu 11.10 "Ocelot", Kworld ub435-q USB TV tuner works great in Kaffeine Media Player v. 1.2.2 and KDE v. 4.7.4 for "over the air broadcasts" without any modifications. |
|||
==Original version Overview/Features== |
|||
A) Simply open up Kaffeine |
|||
*High speed USB2.0 Plug-and-Play interface for PC or Laptop. |
|||
*USB 2.0 Bus-powered (No power adaptor required). |
|||
*Supports up to 1920x1080i (HDTV). |
|||
*Supports Digital TV (ATSC 8VSB) and Digital Cable TV (unencrypted QAM). |
|||
*Dolby Digital AC3 Audio Output. |
|||
===Components Used=== |
|||
B) choose "Digital TV" in the Start Menu |
|||
* NXP TDA18271HD/C2 tuner |
|||
* LG LGDT3304 digital demodulator |
|||
* Empia EM2870 USB bridge |
|||
=== Identification=== |
|||
C) hit "Configure Television" option icon |
|||
Looks and is identical to the older [[KWorld ATSC 340U|ATSC 340U]], but with different coloured packaging, and uses a newer revision (C2) of the tuner. [http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git?a=commit;h=804258c95f9b782b1916eeb4fe280b119ad5b152] [http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git?a=commit;h=7e48b30af033076c85ab48a8306b5588faf5fb4b] Internal PCB is stamped ATSC_340U Ver:B |
|||
USB ID from Output of ''lsusb'': 1b80:a340 |
|||
D) Click on "Device 1" tab |
|||
==UB435-Q V2 Overview/Features== |
|||
E) Choose "Source" which for me was "us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB" for over-air broadcasts |
|||
===Components Used=== |
|||
F) Close window, go back to Kaffeine TV window and click "Channels" option icon |
|||
* NXP TDA18271HD/C2 tuner |
|||
* LG LGDT3305 digital demodulator (neatly stamped "7th Generation VSB/QAM Receiver") |
|||
* Empia EM2874B USB bridge (?) |
|||
=== Identification=== |
|||
G) In "Channels" window, make sure "Source" is set to "ATSC", then hit "Start Scan" button -- the scan took about 3 minutes and 17 channels were found -- I believe all that are in my area. |
|||
Looks like original version. Label on back with UPC code has V2 added to name. |
|||
USB ID from Output of ''lsusb'': 1b80:e346 |
|||
H) Once the scan is complete, highlight all channels found in the right-hand box "Scan Results" (or all that you would like to save) then click "Add Selected" and those channels will then appear in the left-hand box called "Channels" |
|||
=== Logs === |
|||
I) Hit "OKAY" to get out of "Channels" window and you will return to Kaffeine "Digital TV" window with your selected channels appearing in the left margin column. |
|||
<pre> |
|||
j) Double click on a channel to select -- and now hopefully you are watching ! |

Latest revision as of 10:43, 1 March 2019
KWorld appears to have exited the TV tuner business some time in 2016. This was their last ATSC model being sold.
An ATSC USB 2.0 device from KWorld.
There are 3 versions of this device - each has a different VID:UID:
- 1b80:a340 no version indicator - supported under Linux as of Kernel 2.6.3
- 1b80:e346 add V2 to name - supported under Linux as of kernel 3.13
- 1b80:e34c add V3 to name - supported under Linux as of Kernel 3.16.??
Note
The U-shaped clear plastic covering the USB-end of the stick (visible in the image above) interferes with the USB plug and makes it difficult to form a firm connection into a USB socket. For a solid connection this should be removed or sanded down.
As the stick is known to run somewhat warm, removing it, or the entire case, may be worthwhile.
Original version Overview/Features
- High speed USB2.0 Plug-and-Play interface for PC or Laptop.
- USB 2.0 Bus-powered (No power adaptor required).
- Supports up to 1920x1080i (HDTV).
