Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner
Added by Stephen Neal about 10 years ago
Hi all
This looks like it could be very good value if Open Source drivers appear for it : http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/accessories/digital-tv-tuner#fbid=1ui_UaaGUzy GBP£25/EUR€30 for a DVB-T/T2/C USB tuner for use with the Microsoft Xbox One (but like the Sony Play TV presumably usable on any PC platform if Linux drivers appear)

but your repository for nightly TVH builds seem to be down
yes should be fixed this week (wrong bank account at the provider -> not paid )

ha, no worries, would you mind to put the latest test builds on dropbox or google-drive? The site is still down and I would like to mess around with my rpi this weekend...

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by zil dan over 4 years ago
My configuration:
HTS Tvheadend 4.3-1857
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-76-generic x86_64)
DVB-C with 4x Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner
VAAPI i915 v1.6.0 (/dev/dri/renderD128)
In short I have the following configuration:
With hardware profile, all DVB-C channels on QAM64 tp work perfectly.
On QAM256 TPs errors occur and after a while the h264 hardware decoder is blocked until the channel is changed.
If I uncheck Hardware acceleration the viewing can be done despite the stream errors.
It is obvious that the problem comes from the USB tuner or more precisely from the drivers, but there could be a change in the TVH to restart the Video stream in libav.

Hi,
I am thinking to get one of these for DVB-C on Rpi2/3 running Dietpi or Nanopi Neo2 weith Dietpi or Armbian.
Will run Tvheadend. Provider DIGI Hungary.
Any info if it is working fine for DVB-C? Low or high freq too? No continuity or lock errors?
RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Walter av over 4 years ago
Hi Gurabli Gurabli,
Sadly for the Xbox tuner low and high frequencies errors on DVB-C qam256, the least was ~15/20 an hour both on shielded, correctly wired, filtered and amplified setups have been tested. Only DVB-T2 has been fine if reception is clean/strong with external antenne H265&AAC with FTA 1080p50. The results were similar on RPI3 vs x86.
If you want a correct working (dual)tuner for DVB-C use the "Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD 01590" (USB id 2040:0265 Hauppauge) or go HD-homerun quad.
You may even find a triple tuner, with iptv capabilities but not compatible yet with Tvheadend or Satip(tuner sharing) like the MUT@NT HD530C TRIPLE DVB-C which may cover you needs.
RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Gurabli Gurabli over 4 years ago
Hi Walter,
Sorry to hear, I thought the Xbox tuner will work fine.
So you say the Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD 01590 is working perfectly with DVB-C, no problems at all? I already looked at this stick, but didn't find anything that confirmed it is working fully as it should.
I have a Mygica/Geniatech T230 in use now, but have problems with certain frequencies, and get continuity errors, glitches.
If you say the wintv-dual is running great, than I will buy one.
RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Gurabli Gurabli over 4 years ago
One more thing: are both dvb-c tuners working now?
I am getting one and I do hope there will be no continuity errors or similar problems.
RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Walter av over 4 years ago
Gurabli Gurabli to answer both questions, yes dual tuners are working. You have to use a recent 4.17 kernel or a hauppauge supported ubuntu kernel. On recent debian 10 buster it works ootb with only firmware requirement. See this thread for more info including comprehensive support for custom kernel (not necessary anymore):

Many thanks! Well, the kernel on Rpi and Neo2 are both higher versions than 4.17, so it should not be a problem. You mean every kernel after 4.17 has the support or it has to be 4.17?
RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Walter av over 4 years ago
The Hauppauge support by Brad Love mostly get upstreamed to the linux media tree, in this case it means that support has landend in 4.17 and higher. Debian 10 works with linux 4.19 and its working ootb. However it can be that in future versions regressions can break things but be sure to check out https://github.com/b-rad-NDi/Ubuntu-media-tree-kernel-builder.
RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Gurabli Gurabli over 4 years ago
Thank you, Walter.
I will receive my DualHD on Monday, hope it will work as it should. Your help is very much apprecieted.
Btw, do you think minisatip can be a good solution for me? It would be a source for a Tvheadend backend on remote location.
RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Walter av over 4 years ago
Hi Gurabli Gurabli did you have any success with the Hauppauge dualHD already?
About satip, by default it uses some layer2 network tricks to get recognized by devices in local networks, which means you need to make a remote tunnel to make it function like it was designed. However minisatip and tvheadend are very configurable and you maybe able to make it work in a ip layer3 only routed fashion. Remember that Tvheadend HTSP protocol was designed to work over low quality network links from server to client but satip may need a better local wired connectioning with change in frame/packet size it will probably depend on client and channel/provider/hd/sd etc.

Perhaps foolishly, I started an entirely fresh install of the OS Formerly Known As Raspbian with the Buster kernel on my Pi3 with it's X-Box tuner that was, at that stage, working reasonably. Updated and upgraded everything, then proceeded to install tvheadend and dvb-demod-mn88472-02.fw, the firmware that has served me in the past from this thread. Saw the tuner, told it to look for the Sutton Coldfield muxes, but their scan status stays resolutely at PEND. Which is annoying. Extracting from dmesg I have the following

Did you assign the tuner to the network in tvheadend? Otherwise you might try right click and force scan

Problem is that scan tables are old

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by C vH over 4 years ago
The DVB Tuner is known to have problems at some regions. The same happens if you put the tuner at the Xbox so it is likely a firmware/hw problem of the stick.
At other regions the stick works great.

Should be an option to enable it in the Web UI and select a network. Assuming you've created a suitable DVB-T or DVB-C network

Thank you for your reply, I was mislead by the MTP message, indeed I was able to enable it once I created the network for it.

Are there known problems with using multiple of these tuners at the same time?
I have finally got around to creating enclosures for my xbox one tuners, I have 6 tuners where each tuner is set to a single mux (there are 6 of interest here in UK for me), as each tuner is set to a mux I can stream/record any number of combination of channels that I like, I am using tvheadend with emby.
I have the tuners connected to a couple of hubs.
This has been a long term project that I've finally managed to get back to now that I have a 3D printer, I've 3D printed enclosures for the tuners and also the hub+poswer supply, this gives me a rather neat looking system.
I have had this setup working on various hardware configurations, from a raspberry pi 4, to an mini x86 pc to the current hardware which is an x86 virtual machine on a powerful server, one of my USB host controllers has been passed straight through to the VM so it is using that port directly.
The issue I have had since the start is that after an u unknown amount of time, the driver crashes, I see kernel error messages and the tuners themselves have to be unplugged and plugged back in to get them to re-enumerate. I initially thought this was an issue with the Pi 4, so I switched to using a x86 mini pc, but the problem transferred with it. Last week, I switched to the VM and low and behold the same issue is occurring.
The crash doesn't appear to happen when I just have one xbox one tuner connected, it's when I start adding other tuners in that the crashes start.
The crash normally is in the dib0700 driver, but I have been it in other parts of the system, like the frontend driver mn(something).
Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a solution? Am I the only person with this problem? Is it a problem specific for this particular tuner? Are there any tuners that are known to work with multiple connected?
If it means swapping out the tuners for something else, then that's not a problem, I can make whatever modifications I need to accommodate other tuners in my enclosures, but at the moment it's so flakey that I really don't know where the problem is.
Thanks

Sounds like someone's running an IPTV streaming server....
That aside, without being able to suggest any alternative tuners, do you have the ability to detect when a tuner drops out? Either by some sort of simple script on a loop? Then you should be able to trigger a software disconnection/reset of a USB port

No, I have children that schedule a lot of recordings (everything from soap operas to crap like <locations> top model” and I can’t deal with “why didn’t this record” or “why can I record this, but not this at the same time”, I already spend enough time answering “this <device> isn’t working” with “have you tried switching it off and back on again”!
As there are only 6 muxes of interest (I think there is an additional mux here in London, but it only carries a few crappy London “public access stations”) I decided the easiest way to avoid this all of the hassle is to just have 6 tuners and schedule each tuner to be tuned to each of the muxes, in theory this allows instant playback of a channel although due to ffmpeg probing and caching by Emby, it’s currently not a quick channel hop.
But I’ve never managed to get it working reliably with multiple Xbox one tuners, and I’ve eliminated the hardware because my trials have been across across multiple different hardware platforms. (Linux and tvheadend are the only constants).
I did check when I wrote the post you replied to and it hasn’t crashed since I restarted it a couple of days ago, although I currently only have 3 tuners actually connected to the server (the server itself hosts Emby but is mainly used to run development VM’s + teamcity, so it has plenty of cores and RAM) as I have been refining the enclosures and needed one of the tuner housings so that I could do physical fitment tests for the enclosure that holds a DC-DC converter and the 2 USB hubs)
Yes, I could detect it fairly easily, but yesterday when I was summoned to fix the tv not working, I discovered all 3 tuners had panicked in the kernel and I tried restarting the VM and toggling the usb controller pass through and I VM was still unable to see the tuners, I had to physically unplug them to get them seen again.
I’ve got a bunch of crimp terminals and rg316 cable to make up the “neat” cables from the distribution amp to the tuners, once I’ve made those cables up later today, I’ll be able to run more substantial tests and see exactly what happens and how often this problem occurs, it may have been my fault that I couldn’t get them to reenumerate, so that may be easily remedied.
However, a tuner crash mid recording (or stream) is going to end up with “why didn’t this record dad”, so although I may be able to resolve the main problem of them dying, it’s not an ideal solution.
I just want an easy life!
