[Official] DVB-T2 USB/PCI-E/PCI TV Tuner Thread

[zoneguard]

3. Astrometa version 2. Newest purchase below USD$20. Couldn't get it to work under Linux despite kernel support. BDA driver in Windows 8 and TVR app works fairly well. BDA driver means third party PVR software works. For most people who use Windows OS, this is the obvious choice since it is cheapest and has BDA drivers for DVB-T2 and DVB-C support.

Got this to work in Linux using staging driver mm88473 for DVB-t2. I also reused the PCB balun from the small rabbit ears antenna that came with Mygica T230. I gently broke off the 2 rabbit ears and opened up the casing for the antenna to reveal the PCB balun inside. Hooked the balun up to a loop antenna and used it with the Astrometa v2. I will test dvb-c next time.

I think this stick is my preferred choice due to its price point and OS versatility.

EDIT2: Russians beat me to try this first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoEPSJpuYz0

I will try this on my Note 4 later. But I have tried the T230 on my Mi TV 2 55", it doesn't seems to work.

Anybody got the T230 to work on their Android TV yet?

I notice this 6281SE uses the screw-type coaxial socket instead of the plug-type socket eh?

Other than this, any noticeable differences from the older 6281?

I am looking to upgrade to windows 10. Any software to recommend for recording shows with my TBS6281?

Previously had problems with NPVR and other softwares. Now i am using Windows media center which is very reliable but no more in Windows 10. Hence i need another software.

Previous WMC version can still be install on Win10, just google around.

i hv this~ tested on S3, lag on HD channels but SD channels are smooth~ most likely its the phone processor problem, though mygica PT360 advertise that it needs only dual core 1Ghz phone~

the bundle loop antenna is less usable, need strong signal area or outdoor to receive properly~ the other bundle bi-polar antenna is better~

anyway, this tuner drains the battery v fast and makes the phone hot, more than using 3G on youtube~

well ... dvb-t/t2 specs are based on the assumption that you have "unlimited" source of power in the 1st place
