Revision as of 14:57, 21 August 2007

On this page you will find information regarding ATSC USB devices.

Please be aware that:
  • The information contained here is likely non-exhaustive and, despite best efforts to do otherwise, may contain errors. (Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!)
  • If your device is not listed, try:
    • searching the existing mailing list archives:
      • Linux-Media Mailing List (LMML) archives (via vger or .... )
      • or from the older mailing lists (now largely deprecated in favour of the LMML):
        • dvb mailing list archives (via spinics or MARC ... )
        • v4l mailing list archives (via .... )
    • searching for information with Google or other internet search engine
    • by posting a question about the device directly to the LMML (but please do conduct a search first, as it may already have been discussed!)
    • Note: when it comes to support, it is generally a good idea to try the current V4L-DVB sources because some device drivers can be very new and thus may have not made their way into the mainstream kernel.
In any regard, in respect to the above listed suggestions, you may find it to be the case that your device is actually already supported or that experimental support is available.
  • Because the component constitution on many devices are often similar or identical, there may be devices that are unlisted but may actually work with the existing driver framework for previously supported devices. In such a case, your non-listed but working device will likely be reported in your system messages as being one of those previously supported devices. If you encounter such an occurrence, please do report your success on the LMML so that proper detection/identification of your device can be added within the drivers.
  • Lastly, it bears worth repeating the request: Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!



Supported ATSC USB Devices

The following table lists the confirmed working ATSC USB devices and provides a brief summary of their features and components.

Vendor
Model		 Added to
Kernel		 Frontend Bridge Interface 8VSB QAM NTSC Other Features
DViCO
FusionHDTV5 USB Gold		 2.6.16 LG Innotek TDVS-H064F
* TAU6034 tuner
* TDA9887 demodulator (A)
* LG DT3303 demodulator (D)		 Cypress FX2LP
(CY7C68013A)		 yes yes no1 * S-Video & Composite inputs 1
  • Note 1: Hardware should allow it, but the driver has no analog support as of yet (its forthcoming).


Experimental Support

Note: Do not let the "experimental" tag scare you, as the level of device functionality may actually be quite high. After additional testing and/or feature work, the drivers for these devices will make their way into the main branch of Hg and become candidates for inclusion into the Linux kernel.

Within the developers section of the LinuxTV Project's Mercurial (Hg) repository, experimental support for the following devices can be found:
