KWorld UB435-Q USB ATSC TV Stick

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 is supported in kernel since 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.
