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#fb...

I got that with my Technisat Tuner, I had to increase the coherent_pool to 1M.

You need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list to deb http://beta.armbian.com* to prevent downgrading the Kernel on apt upgrade

Ah, thanks!

Building the driver again failed for me yesterday, however reverting to a earlier media_build commit before 2017-08-08 like

258461908cbb83a4d2f869f0f70b6b511fce6baa fixed it for me. Guess 1 of the 2 commits on that date broke building on ubuntu 16.04.3.

To fix run the following "git reset --hard 258461908cbb83a4d2f869f0f70b6b511fce6baa" before "make dir DIR=../media":


#build media_build
cd media_build
git reset --hard 258461908cbb83a4d2f869f0f70b6b511fce6baa
make dir DIR=../media
make distclean
make

Hi Andras,

Did this plan turn into reality yet? :)

Yes, we tried the tuner, but unfortunately Hungary is in the not supported region, so when we plugged the tuner in we always got a "signal is lost" message after the setup part. (Also you have to add your postcode to make it work.) We gave it up for a time, but the owner of the xbox is going on a vacation for a few day and he was so kind that he lend me the xbox. That was today morning, after I got the console I changed the region (or location) to UK and (after hours and hours of googleing) used "bt35" for postcode (postcode for northen ireland), now I get a dvb-t signal and the free channels are working. Tomorrow I will hook up the logic analyzer and try to record the I2C communication. So work is in progress...

I went ahead and got myself one of these tuners as a test. But I don't really understand how to use the LibreELEC image from Cv H. I have it running on my RPi2, but how do get any channels going? Isn't there supposed to be a tvh backend to connect to? I searched the add-on store, but they are all just PVR clients. I also checked running processes on the RPi, and found no significant processes running besides libre and kodi.

Surely I'm missing some essential piece of the puzzle here that everybody knows about. I went through all the posts here but didn't get any wiser on this. Can anybody tell me what I'm missing?

UPDATE:
found instructions: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=270385

I compiled my own kernel, with DVB_MAX_ADAPTERS config setting increased from the default setting of 8.

The instructions here were pretty much all I needed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel

Hi Olli!

Here is the I2C communication between the TDA18250 and the MN88472.
There are two directories, one for dvb-c and one for dvb-t. Unfortunately I have bad dvb-t reception at home, so only two frequencies were found during the scan. For dvb-c I recorded four frequencies, the recording started when I changed the channel on the xbox (and so the tuner had to change the frequency too). Hope you can use it.

Olli Salonen

Hi Andras,

Thanks for these. How was the reception with the real Xbox? Were you able to see channels that were problematic in Linux?

trying to build this on Ubuntu 16.04.2 x64 kernel 4.10.0-33.
the full media_build drivers install no problem and work for my August DVB T210 cards but when I follow the instructions on this site:-
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/trsqr/media_tree.git -b xboxone ./media
cd media_build
make dir DIR=../media
make distclean

make

sudo make install

I get errors when running make and the drivers don't work (I have put the firmware files in place).

I know the stick works because it woeks on latest build of libreelec.

It detects the stick but that's it, no firmware loads etc:-
[ 502.111464] usb 1-4: USB disconnect, device number 2
[ 5780.596336] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd
[ 5780.737722] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=02d5
[ 5780.737738] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 5780.737750] usb 1-4: Product: Xbox USB Tuner
[ 5780.737760] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Microsoft Corp.

[ 5780.737768] usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 003723090415

any ideas?

What error do you get from

make

and/or

make install

Dave Travers

from make I get:-
Applying patches for kernel 4.10.0-33-generic
patch -s -f -N -p1 -i ../backports/api_version.patch
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED
Makefile:138: recipe for target 'apply_patches' failed

An update to media_build broke the driver.

You have to do an extra step before any of the make commands:

git reset --hard 9ccb87d

That should revert media_build to an earlier version that is compatible with this driver.

Dave Travers

So full install instructions:-

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/trsqr/media_tree.git -b xboxone ./media
cd media_build
git reset --hard 9ccb87d
make dir DIR=../media
make distclean

make

sudo make install

It's actually started making now. will let you know how I get on.

Alan Ford

I can confirm that the tuner works perfect using LibreELEC 8.1.1 Beta in conjunction with DVB-T2 in Germany.

Yes, that's it. Don't forget to reboot at the end.

Dave Travers

Knew I'd forgotten something on the instructions!

And it's working fine now, thanks for the help
