Hi for everyone.
Need some help setting up usb tuner.
Running solo2 with latest BH image, additionally i have PCTV 461E DVB-S2
usb tuner, lately just found that it's sensititvity is bit better than
solo2's internal BCM7356. USb stick under the windows found more channels
than solo2, and able show some weak channels, which not possible with BCM7356.
Idea is add 461E as additional tuner to STB and enjoy these weak channels with solo2.
Can anyone help me find or help compile 461E drivers for BH ?
E461 is linux supported PC stick; information found on linux tv org site.
I can't post the linux tv site link as it's not supported for new users.
Found firmaware file dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw , which i uploaded already to solo2 /lib/firmware
folder. How i can find also working BH driver ?
thx in advance

USB interface: Empia EM28178
Demodulator: Montage M88DS3103

Actually your device is not yet supported. Maybe in the future can be used.

Okay, i was suspected myself as well that the 461E is lately presented model and there is
not good support yet. When we may expect adding support for this tuner ? inside of next
BH version ? or it needs more serious / longer development ?
Thanks in advance.

I should verify the driver set installed on latest BH image ....

vuduo2-3.13.5-20141029 is the last driver set installed to my Duo2

I believe that the USB tuner 461e is now supported from kernel 3.14 ... so I can assume that 3.13.5 is just short of this?

Thanks.

In my previous post, I'm pointing to DVB USB driver set and not the Vu+ box drivers.
As wrote many times, BH team DON'T use stock kernel drivers for DVB USB support but LATEST released drivers from LinuxTV, so some devices not supported by stock kernels can be supported by BH team.
I'll verify in these drivers if the components of PCTV 461e are supported or not.
