Looks like you need to download the firmware for it?

i did download xc3028L-v36.fw, but now what module should i use?

Chris G

No idea.
I'm guessing you just put the firmware in /lib/firmware and reboot.
I can't help you beyond that.

Chris G ok thank you, no idea what to do now

With the device connected, reboot your system. Have a look at dmesg and search for any mention of missing firmware for the device in question. This could give you a hint regarding the firmware file name and/or location.

Just reading the LinuxTV page, it says "Analogue TV" works. It says it's a DVB-T board (i.e. not DVB-T2) and it says " Hence, unless you are prepared to write a brand new driver for that DVB-T demod, adding a board profile won't be of much help." So I'd think it was a pretty useless device 🙁

DaveH i think that's for other model?

I don't think there's a cheaper branded USB tuner than the official Xbox One tuner.
I don't use mine any more, but from memory it either worked right away or after adding the firmware.
Certainly no compiling drivers required.
