Jump to search
A DVB-T DVB-C USB device from Elgato intended for use with Apple Computer based systems.
A DVB-T2 device of the same name exists, but only as a prototype. The case and name was changed for mass production. See Geniatech T230C for details on all EyeTV DVB-T2 devices.
Kernel support
Supported since kernel 4.1, with some manual work this stick is also usable with older kernels.
Overview/Features
Extremely small USB 2.0 stick with Antenna in (MCX), and IR remote control.
Bundled with antenna and IR remote control.
The bundled MacOS-X Software eyeTV3 is very well-designed, and works together with Apple TV and iPhone etc.

Step by step instructions
Step 2 to 6 are only necessary if you are using a kernel < 4.1
1.) Download the DRX-K firmware and copy it to /lib/firmware
wget https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/raw/master/firmware/dvb-usb-terratec-htc-stick-drxk.fw sudo cp dvb-usb-terratec-htc-stick-drxk.fw /lib/firmware/
2.) Get the latest sources:
sudo rm -r media_build git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git cd media_build
3.) Compile the sources, this step takes some time:
./build
4.) Install:
sudo make install
5.) Reboot your machine
6.) Load the modules:
modprobe em28xx card=82 modprobe tda18271 echo 0fd9 0018 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/em28xx/new_id
7.) Plug the device and run a w_scan
