Geniatech A681 Support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I recently purchased a Geniatech A681, which is an ATSC USB device and found that it didn't seem to work with Linux. I found this old thread about the same device but unfortunately the person emailing didn't respond to requests for information.

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg118245.html

I'd like to help any way I can to get this device supported. The lsusb -v output for the device at the bottom of this email.

Here are the relevant lines from dmesg:

[ 2493.387308] usb 3-2: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd
[ 2493.536130] usb 3-2: language id specifier not provided by device, defaulting to English
[ 2493.537270] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1f4d, idProduct=a681, bcdDevice= 8.00
[ 2493.537273] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

The specific device I have is actually sold by Mohu:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mohu-USB-TV-Tuner-/273687149793

But it's just a rebranded Geniatech/Mygica A681. I found some specifications documents but nothing that had specifics about the chips on the board. However, a Windows driver is available here:

http://www.gomohu.com/tuner

I see that an inf file is included, but I don't know how to interpret it. I can try to get the case open and take a look at the board itself if that's helpful.

I appreciate all the volunteer work put in by the folks on this mailing list - if this is not enough information or otherwise too difficult, no worries.

Thanks!

Justin
