On this page you will find information regarding DVB-T 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!

Clarification/update needed for the following comments.

Comment: Not working at the moment: VT - Problem: No /dev/vbiX created

Comment: Working but only in kernel >=2.6.24, get CVS/Mercurial sources from linuxtv.org.

Comment: Trouble scanning channel lists with Kaffeine: This is a know-problem of Kaffeine itself, it has nothing todo with the driver. Use a channel list made with another DVB-T device and then switch to a channel, rescan and save the found channels. Do this for all transponders (4 channels per transponder)

DiB0700 USB2.0 DVB-T devices

Note: Currently, at least two dib0700-based devices are known to have problems. The Nova-T 500 suffers from random disconnects after a few hours or days, and the Nova-T Stick, and possibly others using the same hardware, suffer from I2C errors. Updating to current Hg drivers and using new firmware should cure these.

All devices below will be fully supported by the LinuxTV drivers very soon. The following modules are needed for these devices: 

 - dib7000m.ko
 - dib7000p.ko
 - dib3000mc.ko
 - mt2060.ko
 - mt2266.ko
 - dvb-usb.ko
 - dvb-usb-dib0700.ko

These frontend(s)/demodulator(s) can be found in various revisions of this device: 

 - DiBcom DiB7000P, DiBcom DiB7000PC

Comment: In case someone is opening the device, one can find the DiB7700-chips (B/C/D), which is demodulator and USB in one silicon. The USB firmware used is the same for all devices.

The dvb-usb-dib0700 module has a parameter which forces the activation of LNAs (Low Noise Amplifier). If you have reception problems you can try to load the module with force_lna_activation=1 and see if it works better. Normally the LNA is controlled automatically by software so, in general, there should be no need to force activation. If a device has an LNA, it is shown in the table below; for those which have no LNA, this parameter has no meaning.

LifeView

Devices are starting to be supported.

See http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/LifeView

LifeView TV Walker Twin

Works well (two tuners).

The TV Walker twin contains a ULi M9206, which is, according to the website, a "versatile digital audio/video controller for various digital TV standards such as DVB and ATSC. M9206 supports Microsoft's latest Broadcast Driver Architecture (BDA), which offer customers design flexibility and broad market coverage to both DVB and ATSC standards." A pair of TDA10046A OFDM channel demodulators and TDA8275A Silicon Tuners provide the DVB-T functionality. There is also an IR receiver which is presumably controlled by the M9206. Note: this device's USB cable comes with 2 USB plugs. This is not one plug per tuner; plug in both of them together to supply adequate power to the device.

Nebula DigiTV USB version - DVB-T

WideView/Yakumo/Hama/Typhoon/Yuan Boxes and Pens

All devices below are fully supported by the LinuxTV driver. The following drivers are needed for these devices: 

 - dvb-usb.ko
 - dvb-usb-dtt200u.ko

These frontend(s)/demodulator(s) can be found in various revisions of this device: 

 - Zarlink MT352
 - The new units use the Zarlink ZL10353 instead of MT352
 - for pentype design it is unknown (but it doesn't matter at all)

The programming of the MT352 is hidden behind the USB protocol defined within the firmware. These boxes can only deliver part of the Transport Stream (using a hardware PID filter); it is not known how to deactivate this. (The driver was completely reverse-engineered without the help of its real vendor (assuming WideView is the manufacturer). UPDATE: the vendor was so kind to provide information about unknown commands, hence the driver is complete.

There is apparently another Yakumo model not covered:

Hi, I've purchased a "Yakumo Quickstick TV easy" and it doesn't work after compiling and installing the modules. Its vendor and product id ara 0x14aa and 0x620, and it does not appear in modules.usbmap. So I think it's not defined... ßingen.

Firmware: The firmware for the rev 3 Freecom sticks (dvb-usb-wt220u-fc03.fw) can be obtained from here [44]. Rev 4 doesn't work yet, see below.

Warning: When checking the table below, check the USB ID to see if you have an old or new revision of the firmware.

Currently Unsupported DVB-T USB Devices

If you own one or more devices from the following list and you want to help with support development, please contact the Linux-Media Mailing List (LMML). Note that if your device is similar to or contains components for which driver development is currently being undertaken, then it is possible that you will pique the developers' interest and can obtain some assistance that, possibly, leads to full support for your device.

However, please note that inquiries to the mailing list:

  • Should NOT be treated as an order drop-off queue. You're soliciting help from volunteer developers who work on V4L-DVB matters in their spare time, and such work can be non-trivial (i.e. requiring even thousands of hours work). So being demanding is one sure route to being ignored. (Honestly, this point really shouldn't even need to be written, but you'd be surprised at the number of irrational individuals who write into the mailing list demanding this or that).
  • May pass without garnering a response—a distinct byproduct of the fact that there are a limited number of developers, whom might be able to help, that are associated with the project. Often times, even if they wished to help, their energies are entirely tied up with other projects. In such cases, the best path might be to try to spearhead the driver development for your device yourself, or hire someone who can.

    Different to the Artec T14. Has USB id of 05d8:810f. Upon physical inspection it uses DiBcom DIB7070-P and DIB0700 [80] and is probably based on DiBcomm's STK7070-P reference design. There is a patch available enable this device here: [81]. This not part of the main source tree yet, but this should work in the meantime.

    There is a DVB-T-only box: [86] I'm not able to find it in the discontinued products and correct the url to a new working one.

    There is a DVB-T/Analogue box (with external power): [87]

    Other dvb-t usb cards same as lifeview ones but different brand:

    • Zaapa USB DVB-T Model: LR523 - (I can't find the lr523 in their web page) This one seems to be exactly the same LifeView TV Walker DVB-T Q LR506, lsusb also reveals (idVendor 0x10fd Anubis Electronics, Ltd) and the idProduct is 0x0513 I don't know if is the same id product that the LifeViews Q stick but is the same that the Lifeview TV Walker Twin (this make an issue triying to make it work because the Walker Twin is different, the last two paragrafhs of this point explain this issue), anyone can post here the idProduct of lifeview's (if it's the same the issue of this stick will also apply to the Lifeview Q stick). I say this based on http://www.bandaancha.st/foros.php?temid=592815#633106 the post #44 says that in spanish, and also tell windows users with problems in channels reception, to use the driver and also the aplication from lifeview for the lr506, and seems that most of the users have their problems solved.

    I have opened one of it and it have the TDA10046A and a uli m9206 and a Philips 8275AC1 below the ir reciever. Anyone can check that the Lifeview really have a TDA8275A?

    In a kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r1 with the firmware supplied by the ebuild linuxtv-dvb-firmware and DVB_CARD="tda10046lifeview" only, the usb is detected as a TV Walker Twin insted of a TV Walker DVB-T Q LR506 and the result is to fail triying to load the wrong firmware. This was with a similar to Q LR506 zaapa LR523 and also with the tda1004x module also in use by a saa7134_dvb, don't know if this can cause problems when i could load the correct firmware.
    Somebody can make mechanism to detect this card as is and not as a TV Walker Twin? This is caused by a similar vendor and product ids.
    • In the zaapa web page I found one the ZT- LR 506Q http://www.zaapa.co.uk/Public/ficha_producto.asp?CPRO=636 this one have also the same name that the lifeview ones, the image of this tunner is the same that the zaapa LR523 except that the 523 have the anthena connector oposite to the usb side.

    Uses a Realtek RTL2831U decoder chip and MaxLinear MXL5003S tuner. USB ID is 13d3:3216. Is this the same device as the Freecom Rev 4?

    TwinhanDTV Twister (7049) DVB-T

    In germany a similar device seems to be sold as dnt EuroMini200 [89].

    We tried to get information about the usb interface at Twinhan, but there was none avaiable. The chip vendor Uli [90] refuses to open all relevant information.

    Maybe the same applies for the TwinhanDTV Hurricne (704D) [91].
