Digital TV in linux with em28xx devices

I found a really cheap refurbished Pinnacle PCTV USB DVB-T receiver in my local computer store and after googling to make sure it supported Linux I bought it. Here’s how I made it work in Linux.

The USB stick itself is fairly small, although it is just wide enough to block the other USB port on my laptop. It came with a small antenna with a magnetic stand and a tiny remote. The antenna is connected to the USB stick with a regular antenna connector, you can easily connect it to a better antenna if needed.

In this article I’ll show you how I first set up the drivers for the tuner, then setting up kaffeine for viewing tv and lastly configuring the remote. The steps should be fairly easy to follow if you’ve used the console before – if not, just copy n paste and you should be fine.

This article is about the Pinnacle PCTV USB Stick DVB-T receiver, but the same steps should work for any device using the em28xx driver. According to the em28xx wiki, these devices should also work:

Digital devices:

  • Pinnacle/800e|Pinnacle HD Pro Stick (North American version, NTSC/ATSC)
  • Kworld 350 U DVB-T
  • Kworld 310 U

  • MSI Movie Vox
  • D-Link DUB-T210 TV Tuner
  • Gadmei UTV 330
  • Gadmei UTV 310
  • Supertronindia Supercomp TV USB 2.0

Programs needed

You will need the following programs for this to work, we’ll install everything up front so we can concentrate on the more interesting stuff later.

  • a recent kernel with sources, 2.6.15 and newer should be fine (install kernel-sources in SuSE)
  • Hg from http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ (in SuSE you should find a package named mercurial)
  • kaffeine with the xine engine
  • lineak with kde plugin (on SuSE, install lineakd, lineakd_kde and lineak_defaultplugin)
  • gcc compiler, is included on most distros by default
  • dvb package (dvb in SuSE)

For Ubuntu (Edgy) you’ll need the following packages:

All should be available from the default repositories, make sure to have the “Universe” repositories enabled (under System>Administration>Software Sources).

  • mercurial
  • gcc
  • build-essential
  • linux-source
  • linux-headers-`uname -r` (the linux headers for your specific kernel version)
  • kaffeine (version 0.8 or above. Other dvb watching applications will work as well but only kaffeine will be covered here)

These can be installed by entering
sudo apt-get install mercurial gcc build-essential linux-source linux-headers-`uname -r` kaffeine

Answer yes to installing all the dependencies and you should be set.

Besides that the install works the same as for SuSE.

Downloading and compiling the driver

Some users will need a firmware file to make their devices work, if you see your device listed here follow the directions, if not continue on to installing the driver.

These devices need firmware version 1:

  • Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T XS (french edition)
  • Terratec Cinergy T XS
  • DNT DA2 Hybrid
  • Kworld 350U

These devices need firmware version 2:

  • MSI DigiVox A/D
  • Kworld 310U
  • Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T XS (USB ID=0ccd:005e)

These devices need firmware version 3:

  • HVR 900 B2C0
  • HVR 900 A1C0
  • Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T XS
  • Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro
  • Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick (320e) (USB ID=eb1a:2881)

These devices need firmware version 4:

  • Pinnacle HD Pro Stick (North American version, NTSC/ATSC)

These firmware files can be obtained from here.

IMPORTANT: Download the file into /lib/firmware, then extract them with sudo tar zxvf filename.tar.gz

Getting and installing the driver
Create a folder somewhere convenient.
mkdir driver Now, go into that directory and type
hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel Which will download a copy of the driver sources to your directory.

Compiling:

cd v4l-dvb-kernel make sudo make install

You now need to reboot(bookmark this page so you’ll find it again).

The fun part

Hi and welcome back, I hope the boot didn’t take too long.

If everything has gone well you should be a few short steps away from viewing tv on your computer.

We still need to load the driver we compiled earlier, as root type in the following.
modprobe em28xx
or
sudo modprobe em28xx
if you are using Ubuntu or other systems using sudo.

You shouldn’t get any messages, just be returned to the prompt.

Open up kaffeine either from the menu, or from the console by typing ‘kaffeine’. It should recognize that you
have a dvb adapter and ask you for some additional info.

Select your location and check that everything else is in order and then continue.

In kaffeine you have in the menu bar a DVB menu, select channels from that. Now just press scan and hope. If all went well you’ll soon start seeing all the channels that have been found. If you can’t find any channels its most likely because of the tiny little antenna that came with the tuner, either try going to some place with better reception, or plug the antenna cable to a roof-top antenna.

If you’re happy controlling your viewing with a mouse and keyboard, you’re done. If you want to get the remote to work as well stay with me for a little while longer.

Setting up the remote

The remote is just another input device to the system, just like the extra buttons on newer keyboards, so I decided to use lineak for the task.

I used xev to get the different key codes the buttons on the remote are sending, unfortunately not all of them sent anything. I don’t know if this is just something that’s wrong with my remote, or a "feature".

Anyway, here is the section to that I added to /etc/lineakkb.def:

#### Pinnacle PCTV USB Stick Remote ####

[PCTV]
brandname = "Pinnacle"
modelname = "PCTV USB Stick Remote Control"
[KEYS]
Mute = 160
Record = 177
Power = 222
Rewind = 152
Stop = 232
Play|Pause = 110
Forward = 233
VolumeUp = 176
VolumeDown = 174
[END KEYS]
[END PCTV]

#### END Pinnacle PCTV USB Stick Remote ####

If you find the missing key codes, please leave a comment and I’ll update this.

Save the lineakkb.def file and as a regular user type:
lineakd -c PCTV It will create a configuration file for your keyboard in ~/.lineak/ named lineakd.conf
In this file you can set up what you want all the buttons to do, below is a mine as a sample:

# lineakd configuration file
#
# example key configuration:
#     play    = "xmms —play-pause"
#     eject    = EAK_EJECT
#
# Lineakd supports the following modifier keys:
#     control alt shift mod2 mod3 mod4 mod5

CdromDevice = /dev/cdrom
Display_align = center
Display_color = 0aff00
Display_font = -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-240-*-*-p-*-*-*
Display_hoffset = 0
Display_plugin = internal
Display_pos = bottom
Display_soffset = 1
Display_timeout = 3
Display_voffset = 50
KeyboardType = PCTV
MixerDevice = /dev/mixer
RAWCommands =
Screensaver =
conffilename = /home/marcus/.lineak/lineakd.conf
keystate_capslock =
keystate_numlock =
keystate_scrolllock =

Forward = "dcop kaffeine KaffeineIface posPlus"
Mute = "KMIX_MUTE"
Play|Pause = "dcop kaffeine KaffeineIface pause"
Power = "kaffeine DVB"
Record = "dcop kaffeine KaffeineIface fullscreen"
Rewind = "dcop kaffeine KaffeineIface posMinus"
Stop = "dcop kaffeine KaffeineIface stop"
VolumeDown = "KMIX_VOLDOWN"
VolumeUp = "KMIX_VOLUP" 

As you see, I had to put the record button to control full screen toggling, as I couldn’t get the key code for the real full screen button. Please check the lineak documentation for additional commands, as well as typing ‘dcop kaffeine KaffeineIface’ to get a list of all the commands you can send to kaffeine.

To start type
lineakd& To start lineak automatically with KDE make a symbolic link like this: ln -s /usr/bin/lineakd /home/marcus/.kde/Autostart/
So that’s it, now you should be able to enjoy your favorite tv shows on your computer and control it with the remote (although the effective distance on the remote is probably less than the length of your arm :)

  1. Hi Marcus
    Can you help?
    When I type
    hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel

    Iget the following
    destination directory: v4l-dvb-kernel
    abort: error: Name or service not known
    I am still a newbe .What did I do wrong?

  2. Hi Markus,
    I’m looking for a dvb-t receiver, which is why I came here. Quick remark: for the remote keys that are not doing anything in xev, maybe you could check the kernel logs:
    tail -f /var/log/messages
    and with any luck, the kernel will mention that you have to use setkeycodes to make special keys actually generate key events for xev / the system. I figured that out whilst setting up my laptop.
    More info here:
    http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/configuration2007.1.html#laptop
    Hope this helps,
    with kind regard,
    Rob a.k.a. aRTee

  3. Hi Nico,

    I just tried the same command as you and it worked fine. Most likely the server was experiencing problems at the time. Try again and see if it works better now.

    Thanks for the heads up Rob, but unfortunately I’ve lost my remote so I can’t check the codes myself. If you have time and find the codes post them here or through the contact form and I’ll update the article.

  5. What specification of hardware do I need as minimum for the Ubuntu installation and using Pinnacle USB HD Pro.

    I have a 1.8GHZ 2GB Ram windows laptop running Win XP that stalls when I ry to record using Pinnacle’s software although viewing is fine.

  6. I’ve been trying to get the Pinnalce PC HDTV USB stick to work on my PCLINUXOS 2007 box. I’m getting these error messages.

    Have any idea on how to get this working under PCLINUXOS 2007? If not, what Linux would be best for this?

  7. Hi Nico,

    I’m sorry, but I can’t figure out why it’s not working for you when it works fine for me.. :(

    Stephen,

    I haven’t used the exact same stick as you but the specs you describe should be fine for SDTV at least. Recording and watching HDTV will require faster hardware. Especially recording needs a fast hard drive to work smoothly. You can check out further specs from the Pinnacle site: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/PCTV+Tuners/ PCTV+Analog_Digital+PVR/PCTV+HD+Pro+Stick+Documents/Technical+Specifications/ PCTV+HD+Pro+Stick+Tech+Specs.htm

    J.J.,

    Sorry, I’ve never used PCLINUXOS so I really can’t help you that much. It seems as though PCLINUXOS might have a bit differing file structure that makes the loding of the module into the kernel more difficult.

    I’ve successfully used my USB stick in opensuse and ubuntu, so if you’re thinking of switching distros you might want to look at one of those.

  8. HI Marcus, can I got problem. I am new on the Linux so I need help please. I am using Kubuntu. I did all process as you wrote without problems, but when I type “kaffein” in the console, there reveal this:

    X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 154 Major opcode: 143 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0×0
    Failed to open device

    I have got Gadmei UTV 330 (USB)

    Thank you for any advice!

  9. Hi Marcus,

    Thanks for the tutorial/howto. However, my achievements fails somewhere halfway. I use openSuSE 10.2 and I installed the kernel-headers and sources too.

    When I execute make, I get the following errors:
    —

    WARNING: You do not have the full kernel sources installed.
    This does not prevent you from building the v4l-dvb tree if you have the
    kernel headers, but the full kernel source may be required in order to use

    If you are experiencing problems building the v4l-dvb tree, please try
    building against a vanilla kernel before reporting a bug.

  10. Hi Marcus,
    I’m a Linux newbie with openSUSE 10.2 at hand. My TV tuner is a “Supertronindia Supercomp TV USB 2.0” which is listed above under analog devices supported. So I was trying to follow the same instructions to get it installed.
    The TV tuner in it is a TNF-9535 and chipset em2820.

    When I tried the make command after hg clone…, this is what I get:

    make -C /root/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l
    make1: Entering directory `/root/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l’
    perl scripts/make_config_compat.pl /lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/build ./.myconfig ./config-compat.h
    File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/build/include/linux/netdevice.h at scripts/make_config_compat.pl line 15.
    make1: *** [config-compat.h] Error 2
    make1: Leaving directory `/root/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l’
    make: *** [all] Error 2

    I’ve installed the kernel sources as well. Can you help me find out what else am I missing?

  11. Hi Marcus,

    I am new to Linux and I use Kubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04. My tuner is a Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 320e. Everything seems to work until I start Kaffeine. It doesn’t recognise any dvb-device and neither does any other program. I tried kdetv but it says “No Devices Found”. When I try v4l-conf from the console it says “can’t open /dev/video0: No such file or directory”. Why is there no video-device in /dev?

  12. Hi Marcus, i use your tutorial and everything works perfect with the TV, but now i cant use my webcam, isa usb device too. So I use to switch the kernell, one for use the web cam and the other for the TV. Anyway i would like to know why happen this and some idea to solve it?.

    Im using the last version of Ubuntu feisty

    Thanks a lot!

  13. Dear Marcus
    I re-installed Ubuntu 7.04 and now I could follow all your instructions. I have a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 900. I get a nice picture with tvtime and xawtv. For both I get no sound. What can be the problem?
    Nico

    Nico · Oct 5, 08:05 AM

  14. Are older drivers available somewhere? I just installed openSUSE 10.3 and it uses 2.6.22 kernel and these new drivers need 2.6.99.

  15. Dear Marcus
    I am from South Africa. We use Pal i and only have analog. I have Ubuntu 7.04 on my laptop. and a Hauppauge HVR 900 B2C0 . With tvtime and xawtv I get picture but nosound. If I do the sox command
    The sox command:

    sox -r 48000 -w -c 2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

  16. Hi,

    “hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel” gives

    destination directory: v4l-dvb-kernel
    abort: ‘http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel’ does not appear to be an hg repository!

    Looks like the directory is not existing in the mentioned location. Do you know where i can get this source files?

    Thanks,
    Magesh

  17. Hi guys,
    same problem with:

    hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mrechberger/v4l-dvb-kernel

    There is someone else with this files?
    Thank you.

    LAj · Oct 16, 06:42 PM

  18. I also need the stable v4l-dvb-kernel. Why has it been removed? The most frustrating is that I had the sources and removed them only yesterday :(

    Daniel · Oct 19, 05:25 AM

  19. The
    v4l-dvb-kernel
    is now
    v4l-dvb-experimental
    just change it in the command and you ‘ll be ok.
    In other news… everything just works ok thanks you very much for the tutorial.

  20. hi marcus, when i try to compile the drivers i have this errors with make:

    PC-Riky:/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel # make
    make -C /driver/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l
    make1: Entering directory `/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l’
    Updating/Creating .config
    Preparing to compile for kernel version 2.6.22
    You appear to have loadable modules turned off in your kernel. You can
    not compile the v4l-dvb drivers, as modules, and use them with a kernel
    that has modules disabled.

    If you want to compile these drivers into your kernel, you should
    use ‘make kernel-links’ to link the source for these drivers into
    your kernel tree. Then configure and compile the kernel.
    make1: *** No rule to make target `.myconfig’, needed by `config-compat.h’. Stop.
    make1: Leaving directory `/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l’
    make: *** [all] Error 2
    PC-Riky:/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel #

    if i use make kernel-links it works…..but when i tipe make install i have this errors:

    PC-Riky:/driver/v4l-dvb-kernel # make install
    make -C /driver/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l install

    great how-to! I made it with a Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick (USB ID=eb1a:2881) to see analog TV with TvTime but I have the same problem with the sound:-(
    Has anyone found a solution for that?

  23. Hi,
    thanks for the how-to
    i’ve got a Pinnacle PCTV 2000e, i’ve red this how-to and i’ve installed the firmware version 3 and 4.. but kaffeine can’t see the device..
    this is the output of lsusb:

    Bus 002 Device 003: ID 2304:022c Pinnacle Systems, Inc. [hex]

    …Anyone can help me please???
    thanks in advance!

    Daniel · Dec 14, 06:33 AM

  26. A solution for SUSE or other users (hello Bart).

    Found in http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php/Em2880 is a link to http://www.techjp.net/suse_103_terratec_cartetv_tnt which is an end-to-end description of SUSE 10.2 install. Whether you know French, or not, check out the instructions to modify make_config_compat.pl as follows:

    my $kdir=”/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.12-0.1”;

    in other words, spell out the exact source directory in the symbol $kdir. Worked for me after 2 frustrating days of googling.

    cheers

  27. I’m a newbie and I had a lot of trouble getting past the part of compiling the driver. After trying the command listed

    “sudo tar zxvf filename.tar.gz”,

    I decided to Dogpile it. I found that either there was a type-o on your instructions or for some reason this other command just worked on my machine. Here is their command

    “tar xvzf firmware_v4.tgz”

    After I got past that part, everything else seemed to work great.

    Thanks for the post.

  31. Hi all,
    For those who have the Pinnacle dvb-t USB (the white stick) I’ve been searching a little and found that no accurate specs are available for this device so the em28xx driver fails to lock frequencies. This is, a much higher signal strength is needed to make it work than under Windows. That’s why I only get 4 of 30 channels and some of you have none. Hope this can be solved anytime soon.
    Regards!

    Is there a v4l driver that can be used together with a 2.4.36.1 kernel? Which version is it? Where can I get it from?

    Thank you for any comments in advance,

  39. I am using Mythtv on Ubuntu. I have gotten everything to work with some minor issues. The sound is distorted and crackling during play (NTSC). The sound is fine in TvTime using sox to initalize.

    I read an article about another v4l driver and it mentioned increasing the buffer size to improve sound quality.

    I was wondering if it is possible to re-make the drivers with an increased buffer size??

  47. Hack for “no such file or directory” errors with Ubuntu 8.10:

    In Ubuntu:

    - Get kernel source, extract it and compile it

    - Edit Makefile in v4l-dvb-kernel package where

    KDIR=/lib/modules/$(KVER)/build

    to

    KDIR=/usr/src/<where you extraced the kernel>

    - Copy Module.symvers from /usr/src/linux-headers-<your kernel release> to /usr/src/<where you extracted the kernel>, more generic explanation: copy Module.symvers from your headers directory to the kernel directory

    - Run make in v4l-dvb-kernel directory

    - Run make install

    Don’t know how wrong the copying of Module.symvers is, but at least I got v4l-dvb-kernel to build with latest Ubuntu.

  48. Hi Marcus,

    good stuff. Thanks, my Pinnacle DVB-T was installed very quick with your manual.

    Cheers, Mikey
