Xbox One DVB-T/T2/C tuner

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...

So you may want to give that a try!

Mark, can you give this a try and see if it works for you? Because it seems to be for me on initial testing.


/etc/modprobe.d/dvb_xbox.conf (or whatever file you want in modprobe.d)

options dvb_usb_dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

I think you could have been spot on, added the LNA option to load with the module and it may be working.

Anthony Thomas

A bit more testing and I don't think it has actually helped.

Another idea, do these tuners perform better after a reboot and gradually degrade over time?

Olli Salonen

I don't think the LNA option does anything with these drivers. On or off, the behaviour will be the same.

That answers that then!

Sorry for not responding sooner.

* The LNA option in both tvheadend and the module, as Olli has already said, do absolutely nothing.
* The power saving mode I was talking about was for the system itself, the CPU governor. I set mine to performance & after a few days I'm not seeing any major CC errors, I still get a few but now it's only on initial tune.

I'm seriously annoyed at how much faster these are compared to my August T210v2 tuners :/

Anthony Thomas

Ah, I see. Are you using the tuners on a RPi (or ARM) system?

I'm on an x86/64 system, I'll see if I can force the CPU high in case that helps.

Banana Pi M1, so ARM.

It pretty much solved all my errors.

i trie to install the Drivers on a Banana Pi running raspbian lite

Are you running kernel 3.4? I don't think that will ever work.. You will need something quite recent for this driver.

marco raap

Yes,
what kernel do I need for this?
What can I do?

Option 1: Use a Raspberry Pi to recreate the situation others have had success with in this thread (because the Orange, Banana and other alternatives to the Raspberry usually don't run Kernel 4.x and most of the drivers you need aren't written for Kernel 3.x)

Option 2: Use a PC/Netbook/NUC to go the x86 way. Benefits of doing it this way include the ability to transcode multiple streams and higher available bandwidth over USB/Ethernet. The Pi can be fairly limiting in I/O bandwidth in certain cases.

In both cases, read posts by people claiming they have a working setup. And if you've read all the instructions and followed them to the letter and it still doesn't work I'm sure someone (maybe even me) will help you to troubleshoot.

marco raap

I found Ambian will try this first.

marco raap

i do have problems I think to install the kernel-headers propertly
Anyone an Idea?

I wasn't able to build it on my Banana Pi either, I had to compile an image with the git patches.. I can upload my img if you like.

marco raap

yes that would be awesome

Do md5sum Armbian_5.32_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_next_4.12.4.img and make sure it matches below..

e243332c0829780bf42b4a4f033db4b5 Armbian_5.32_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_next_4.12.4.img

On mine the apt update wants to upgrade the kernel to an older version (don't ask me why it does this), so you may want to pin the linux-sunxi* packages.

Small note, I'm more than happy to provide Armbian jessie/xenial images with the xbox tuner patch by Olli for other boards supported by the mainline kernel (4.10+) on request.

marco raap

Thank You.

it worked nice after installing the missing Drivers and TVHeadend it worked fine.

Only the Quality of the XBOX Stick is bad. Maybe it is because of the unstable TVHeadend Release. I´ll Check it later.

Thank you all for your great work.

Turn off the ondemand governor.

@C vH

so i´m compiling my own libreelec
but I want to install this "https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_SSD1306" I can't find help in the Internet for installing this in the build.

Can u help me?
