Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD

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

• USB interface: Empia EM28274
• Demodulator: 2*Silicon Labs Si2168-B40
• Tuner: 2*Silicon Labs Si2157-A30

Model 01595 (USB device ID 2040:026d)

Components Used

• USB interface: Empia EM28274
• Demodulators: LG LGDT3306a
• Tuners: Silicon Labs Si2157

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

The 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).

The 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).

Currently only the first tuner on Model 01590 and Model 01595 is supported.

A kernel patch for the support of both tuners can be found at https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-2867.html . The thread refers to a patch file for kernel 4.2.5 downloadable at https://www.dropbox.com/s/qkw7fn7y9szdn1r/wintv-dualhd-kernel-4.2.5-2016-08-10.patch.tar.xz?dl=0

Another patch for the second tuner for kernel 4.11 and later is linked here: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg113120.html

patches may be found at https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/list/?submitter=174585

Update as of 2017-11-22: Brad told me in an e-mail after asking him for the current state:

   I've been super side tracked for months now with other work, but I've started getting everything to pass checkpatch and intend on sending this dualHD and more to the mailing list soon.

👍

Update as of 2018-04-16: Brad Love's WinTV-dualHD patches made it into mainline kernel 4.17-rc1. Finally. Stay tuned...
