PCTV 292e, aka TripleStick and tvheadend howto

Added by Anders Gustafsson about 9 years ago

Tested both 3.4.x and 4.0.x. To use both DVB-C and DVB-T you need 4.x

After an out of the box install dmesg will yield:

[ 570.360330] si2168 7-0064: si2168: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2168' in cold state
[ 570.360364] si2168 7-0064: si2168: firmare file 'dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw' not found

Grab that fw from http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/Si2168/ and put it into /lib/firmware. Restart tvh

On tvh 4.x the stick will show up as two adapters, one DVB-T one DVB-C. Enable the one you need. If you enable both, only DVB-T will work. On 3.4 the adapter will show up as "Silicon Labs Si2168" and only work for DVB-T
