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...

Here is image with 4.16 kernel. Many thanks toImola Dan for instructions. Xbox tuner works "out of the box".

I try the image, and it has 4.14 kernel:

# uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.14.50+ #1122 Tue Jun 19 12:21:21 BST 2018 armv6l GNU/Linux

Regards.

I've downloaded the image from G drive and it is 4.16:


pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.16.18-v7+ #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 10:51:48 CEST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Hello,

My Pi is Model B Revision 2.0.

I upgrade all the system, but similar version:

# uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.14.70+ #1144 Tue Sep 18 17:20:50 BST 2018 armv6l GNU/Linux

Kind regards.

Hello, I am affraid I do not know where is the problem :( img from my google drive has 4.16 kernel. I downloaded and flashed it to SD card and I am 100% sure it is 4.16.

One thing I forgot about this... apt-get update will 'update' you back to the 4.14 kernel (!) :P

Something to watch out for... things will appear to still be ok until you notice recordings aren't happening and your tuners are missing in tvh.

I have this tuner running on an rpi zero w and it seems to work OK regards signal strength but I occasionally get this:

I'm running 4.18.14+ which is obtainable from the rpi-update tool

Not sure, sorry. It could just be the USB driver in 4.18 not quite being there yet. If it was an insufficient power supply then you'd probably have undervoltage warnings logged as well.

Self-built 4.16 has still been mostly OK for me on a Pi3; the only issue being occasional instability with network traffic (affected Samba, SSH, SCP, watching recordings through TVH etc).
Adding the following to /etc/rc.local fixed this for me:

ethtool --offload eth0 rx off tx off

Where eth0 is the name of the ethernet device. Check with @ifconfig@.
This does network checksumming on the CPU instead of offloading it to the network hardware; again, possibly drivers which aren't quite there yet.

Found a little workaround for it:

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-bootloader && sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel

It should then stop updating the bootloader/kernel - executing apt update and apt upgrade works without "destroying" tvheadend.
Thanks for the image!

Thanks, I've added a note for that to the big post above :)

So has anybody gotten this working in something like linux mint 18.3?
I've tried most of the stuff here, with no luck, I then tried manually moving the dvb-demod-mn88472-02.fw file to /lib/firmware, but for some reason my computer sees this specific .fw file out of all the others to be an image file...
(I tried it on my Rasberry pi B and it worked out of the box, but i don't like the fact that the ethernet port and the usb ports share the same chipset)

CvH

isn't Linux Mint 18.3 also using Kernel 4.15 like normal Ubuntu ?
The Stick just works ootb with 4.16.

X Yaz

There is no 4.16 for me but I'll try to get it

X Yaz

Installed the ukuu kernel manager and i'm installing kernel 4.16.0 now

X Yaz

Thank you so, so much, it's working:)

Hey there! Kernel rpi-4.19.23-v7 just got released.

Does the XBOX TV tuner work with it out of the box?

Thanks in advance

I just checked and it appears to work with brief testing.
I updated with rpi-update, if I unhold raspberrypi-bootloader and raspberrypi-kernel then it's still 4.14.

Sorry for the noob bringing this thread to the top again.

I have an Rpi3 and and xbox tuner, I install and update the rpi and update it to the latest kernel.......... I install tvheadend and everything seems to work, it sees the tuner but It fails to find any channels, even when I manually add the muxes

Kind of at loss as I have tried 3 times over now.... am I missing the firmware maybe?

Hello,

Put here the output of "dmesg" command after you plug the USB.

Regards.

> Kind of at loss as I have tried 3 times over now.... am I missing the firmware maybe?

I was stuck at the same point of you last weekend. I follow the steps you have indicated (in my case, I was obtaining muxes but no services) but I forgot to copy the specific firmware (http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/MN88472/02/latest/) to this path /lib/firmware. Once I did that, TVH started to recognize channels from muxes. I don't want to say this is the specific solution for your issue but hope this could help you.

Regards,
