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)

@Anthony
Thanks it works fine for me

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Jan g over 6 years ago

I want to install The Tuner on a rpi with newest raspbian Stretch. In this Thread are a lot of Tutorials But which of them works ?

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Jan g over 6 years ago

I try it at Ubuntu 18.04 and Upgrade The Kernel to 4.16.9 and it work out of The Box. But The raspberry doesnt have such a New Kernel Right?

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Anthony Shephard over 6 years ago

Hi, I suggest using rpi-update to get the latest available kernel and rpi-source (google to download from github) to get the headers for the kernel. Then the steps I suggested in a post a few weeks back should work for you.

yes i tried it but have the problem:

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Gordon Williams over 6 years ago

Hi,

I'm afraid I have the exact same problem as Jan g (with vb2_vmalloc_memops). I used rpi-update which took me up to 4.14.44-v7+ (which didn't handle the dongle automatically), ran rpi-source and built using Anthony's instructions (https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/13685?r=32427#message-32427) but no luck.

I'm now trying to run rpi-source again and it would appear to be pulling in the same kernel sources as last time

The normal Kernel now seems to be at 4.14.34-v7+ - it looks from the threads on here like that might be good enough, without having to update?

Update: Having rebuilt with the normal kernel it boots and despite reporting 'dvb_core: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout' it doesn't seem too unhappy. However I don't have a device in /dev/dvb. Is there anything I can do to track down what the problem is?

thanks!

Hi,
This is the problem with the latest of stuff! Things change and it doesn't work any more!
From my post I tried with 4.14.37 and this works, I tried with 4.14.34 and it kept crashing as soon as the USB tuner was plugged in.
Try 4.14.37 and see if it works?

Anthony

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Gordon Williams over 6 years ago

Thanks! I actually have something happening with 4.14.34 now...

I'll get the under-voltage issue sorted, but as I understand it since it hasn't crashed that probably doesn't explain why nothing is happening.

It seems like the module isn't loading. In fact:

$ sudo modprobe tda18250
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tda18250': Exec format error
$ sudo modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dvb_usb_dib0700': Exec format error

Does that help? Is it possible that it is being built for 4.14.34 but it's running 4.14.34-v7+ because it's a Pi 3 (if that makes sense?). Although it is definitely looking in /lib/modules/4.14.34-v7+ for the modules...

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Anthony Shephard over 6 years ago

Hi, I don't know I'm afraid.
I have an RPI3 that is working better than that if you want me to find out versions etc. It does still seem to crash every now and again though.

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Gordon Williams over 6 years ago

Thanks! I think I might wait a bit and try again with a newer kernel - I could be wrong (I'm new to this) but it seems like when the kernel hits 4.17 I won't have to use media_build and can just compile dvb_usb_dib0700 straight out of the normal kernel sources.

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Zane Chua over 6 years ago

UPDATE:
Bought a T230C which does support the DVB-T2 Lite standard and it is able to pick up the signals.

I guess this tuner doesn't support all DVB-T2 standards. Do be aware.

ORIGINAL:

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 with the 4.14.48-v7+ kernel and I can build the kernel accordingly with the instructions posted by Anthony 2 pages ago.

This is the following output from dmesg.

However I can never seem to find or scan any muxes. I'm from Singapore and I think we're using the DVB-T2 1.3.1 Standard (DVB-T2 Lite).

All my scans will result in a "FAIL" from the tvheadend muxes page. I get the following in journalctl:

w_scan produces absolutely nothing also. I don't think it has anything to do with my antenna either. But can definitely try another antenna.

A scan with dvbv5-scan produces the following:

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by paul griffiths over 6 years ago

Just picked up this tuner from Poundland for £5 in their electrical section
I am really struggling to follow the instructions to successfully recompile for a pi 2 / 3 for either Jessie or stretch, getting the same errors as previously reported in the final make.
Has any one got an pi image they are willing to share to test the device

Thanks
Paul

Have you tried LibreElec? It has everything preloaded.

Thanks I'll give it a go, but was looking for a raspbian image to build a tvheadend tuner

I put a step by step somewhere on page 8-9 that will work.
As an alternative you can upgrade raspbian with rpi-update to the 4.14 kernel which has support out of the box. Don't forget you will still need to download the firmware file!

That sounds perfect. I don't suppose anyone has any instructions for that? A few posts ago I really struggled to get anything working with 4.14.34 on a Pi 3.

Just tried the rpi-update which took me to 4.14.52-v7+, but still no xbox dvb support -

Not sure why B W said there'll be support out of the box for the tuner when the patch wasn't even made till 4.16 RC

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by Anthony Thomas over 6 years ago

Has anyone managed to get it working with raspbian Stretch Kernel 4.14.52-v7+?

Just done a fresh install of raspbian on an RPi3 - ran rpi-update, installed the drivers without any issues.

When the tuner is plugged in I get these errors

Tried with a powered USB hub also.

Yes - to get it to build i needed to make one alteration otherwise I got the symbol issue with remote controller support.

Try make menuconfig, then change ‘Remote Controller Support’ from <M> to <*>. By default it builds remote controller support as modules and that always leads to the error above. Switching to built in to the kernel sorts that issue out.

However I find limited success in using this at present as in the UK 2 particular DVB-T2 muxes fail to tune properly - seeming to take 5-10 seconds to stabilise using this device, but works fine with others muxes. Both muxes are fine with other tuners, so looks like there are some issues remaining.

Sorry, just read this - I'll try that.

RE: Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner - Added by paul griffiths over 6 years ago

I've got the latest Raspbian Stretch Lite working with the XBOX tuner, using a combination of the installation instructions and rpi-update from Anthony Shephard - Thanks.
Anyone who wants a copy, let me know and i'll share the zipped image on my google drive (~3.5G)

Would the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner work on a windows 8.1 Laptop?

They're so cheap for a DVB T2 Tuner in the UK.

If not Windows PC then Linux running on Dual Boot or off a USB Stick?

There's no windows driver, but you can dual boot something like libreelec.

Maybe you can even forward the usb dongles into a tvheadend vm in Windows, never tried.

Well, as B W already said, everything is available in LibreELEC for the RPi - XBOX ONE Tuner support as well as TVHeadend server and client ...
