Inoffical Support

You may get the receiver working on linux by installing the firmware file dvb-usb-tt-s2400-01.fw in /lib/firmware/. There is no offical download page for this firmware file. You should search for the firmware or grab it under Windows on device inititalization. If you got the firmware installed, you can use the usual tools to view TV.

Components Used

  • NXP/Philips TDA8263 (tuner)
  • NXP/Philips TDA10086HT (demodulator)
  • Cypress CY7C68013A (i.e. FX2) (USB bridge)
  • Atmel AT24C02Bn (EEPROM)
  • STMicroelectronics LNBP21PD (LNB controller)
