Interesting world of USB ID allocation. HanfTek was very helpful during the last time. I will contact them to check if they know something about this box. > after loading the Hanftek firmware: > > Bus 005 Device 004: ID 15f4:0015 HanfTek The new USB IDs are hardwired in the Firmware. > Jul 10 19:29:59 piccolo kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (Hanftek UMT-010 > DVB-T USB2.0). > Jul 10 19:29:59 piccolo kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 (Zarlink MT352 > DVB-T)... This can't be an accident. The Box clearly has the MT352 as demod. > The device seems to be accessible somehow, if I do a "scan file" with file > being a file with some frequencies in it, the red LED will be lit and it > seems to scan - but it never finds anything. > > So I got a channels.conf from a friend and tried: > georg@piccolo:~$ sudo tzap -r RTL > > using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' > tuning to 538000000 Hz > video pid 0x01b1, audio pid 0x01b2 > status 00 | signal ffb7 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | > status 00 | signal ff00 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | > status 00 | signal ff00 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | > status 00 | signal ff00 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | OK. Most likely the box just uses another tuner than the Hanftek one. > The next step was to run the original software from the included CD (which > looks very similar to the Hanftek software) and then warm boot into linux. Does the original software find any channels in Windows? Can you create a usblog using http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/ and try to scan for channels while recording the traffic. Please compress the usbsnoop.log and send it to me privately or put it somewhere fr download. > Bus 005 Device 002: ID 10b9:2000 Let's hope we can use the firmware from HanfTek... There is probably no way to distinguish the devices from the cold-state of the FX2 (when having the same USB IDs), or is there a way? > Is it worth opening the device and see which chips are in there (and no > longer being able to give it back)? Or has anyone already done that? To figure out the tuner maybe, but first do the usblogging, maybe it is sufficient. Good luck, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/
