Artec T1 USB TV Box

A DVB-T USB device from Artec

The device is based upon the DiBcom DVB-T USB 1.1 reference design.

Let's go

1) You must have a kernel version >= 2.6.13

2) Get dvd-kernel et dvb-apps from linuxtv.org

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-kernel
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-apps

3) Uncomment l.131 of dibusb-mb.c in dvb-kernel/build-2.6 then compile with make

(You may find it as dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dibusb-mb.c)

Note that the lines change. I believe the line you need to uncomment is this one:

#define DVB_USB_DIBUSB_MB_FAULTY_USB_IDs

4) Load modules (using load.sh)

5) rmmod usbtest (if it loaded) and if it loaded again, remove it in :

 /lib/modules/**/kernel/drivers/usb/misc then type depmod -ae

6) Copy firmwares :

cd dvb-kernel/firmware

cp *dvb-usb* /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware

7) Create Channel configuration file

cd dvb-apps/util/scan
./dvbscan  dvb-t/fr-Paris > channels.conf (change to your country) 

8) Download MPlayer* and verify that you have dvb support (cf. package installed and this output)

    Enabled optional drivers:
    Input: ftp network tv-v4l2 tv-v4l edl tv matroska mpdvdkit2 vcd dvb
    Codecs: qtx libavcodec real xanim dshow/dmo win32 faad2(internal) libmpeg2 libdts liba52 mp3lib tremor(internal) libmad gif
    Audio output: alsa esd oss mpegpes(dvb)
    Video output: xvidix cvidix vesa gif89a md5sum pnm jpeg png mpegpes(dvb) fbdev caca aa dga xv x11 xover tga

9) Copy channel configuration file to ~/.mplayer/

cp dvb-apps/util/scan/channels.conf ~/.mplayer

10) Press H and K to change channels
