An USB controller, that also contains an embedded DVB-T demodulator, produced by Tai-Hui and marketed under the brand name e3C Technologies.
This IC is used in many cheap DVB-T USB Sticks. It is currently unsupported under Linux.
EC168 Devices
Known USB IDs are 18b4:1689, 18b4:fffa, 18b4:fffb, 18b4:1001 and 18b4:1002 (for devices with a second tuner).
- DUTV002 Shen Zhen MinTV-DVB-T Stick 18b4:1001
- DUTV007B USB TNT Basic LIGHT from PC-Basic (Graphics) with MXL5003S tuner and has USB ID 18b4:1001.
- DUTV009 SinoVideo 3420A-2 with MXL5003S but no eeprom (has USB ID 18b4:1689/18b4:fffb)
- SKU08309 USB DVB-T TV Dongle with Remote from DealExtreme uses this chip and has USB ID 18b4:1689.
- MM002V2 Sweex MM002V2 Microtune MT2060 silicon tuner 18b4:1689
- Tvisto USB DVB-T with MXL5003S tuner 18b4:fffa
- ZAP DVB-T USB stick with MXL5003S tuner 18b4:1689 and no external eeprom
Without drivers, ubuntu 8.10 detect the dongle as an USB Keyboard :

DUTV009 SinoVideo 3420A-2
No eeprom in this one
SKU 08309 USB DVB-T Dongle
SKU 08309 USB DVB-T Dongle requires Firmware-File called EC168BDA.bin contained in Windows Driver TVGo_Genius.rar
DUTV007B USB TNT Basic LIGHT (GRTNTUSBV4)
Same USB descriptors as SinoVideo 3420A-2, but with another PID... IR is detected directly by the hidraw driver (usbhid)
The PC-Basic v4 USB Stick contains following chips :
- EC168 (USB 2.0 µ-controller, could be also a preprogrammed AVR or PIC)
- Maxlinear MXL5003S Tuner [1]
- EEPROM 24C02N I²C 0xA0 (256 Bytes) [2]
The windows driver also upload a 7109-bytes sized firmware (EC168BDA.bin) to get the device working...
Uploading Firmware to the device
- EC168 Direct Firmware Upload tool based on libusb by Tanguy Pruvot : dfu-ec168
Something interresting with this device : We can patch USB ID and descriptors included in the firmware and/or device memory...
