[arch-general] Astrometa DVB T2 stick
good afternoon, I'm trying to get my new DVBT2 stick to work following instructions from Arch Wiki and Linuxtv.org. Here's the output from demsg [ 77.140080] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci [ 77.248832] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=15f4, idProduct=0131, bcdDevice= 1.00 [ 77.248839] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 77.248842] usb 1-1.1: Product: dvbt2 [ 77.248846] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: astrometadvbt2 [ 77.248849] usb 1-1.1: SerialNumber: 0 [ 77.256329] usb 1-1.1: dvb_usb_v2: found a 'Astrometa DVB-T2' in warm state [ 77.334054] usb 1-1.1: dvb_usb_v2: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer [ 77.334075] dvbdev: DVB: registering new adapter (Astrometa DVB-T2) [ 77.337494] i2c i2c-8: Added multiplexed i2c bus 9 [ 77.337499] rtl2832 8-0010: Realtek RTL2832 successfully attached [ 77.337524] usb 1-1.1: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T))...

Good afternoon Franz,
ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder Nothing to scan!!
The device looks to me recognised and initialised but don't get w_scan a channel list.
Get connected to a better antenna, or move the current one to a better location? I presume you're somewhere where you'd expect to see channels? Try a different USB port; sounds odd, but I found a few RTL2832 `Nothing to scan' with Google where that helped. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
Hi Ralph

stick works with my antenna on another Laptop with win7 :-( I've tried all USB ports both on my laptop and docking station, with no success. Tried kaffein as well. It has a field where I assume theres's supposed to be a bar showing the signal strength where I see nothing KR Frank

I was looking for firmware but couldn't find. LinuxTV.org doesn't mention any firmware either for this stick. KR Frank

Did you try other software like tvheadend? Maybe it would help to extract the firmware from a newer windows driver, but I had no luck yet doing this.
Regards Bjoern
I've extracted the most current Windows diver but to be honest don't know what to look for since I don't know how the FW is called there. I'm sending it back and have ordered a Hauppage WinTV which hopefully better supported. At least there's reports of success on the local LUG list. KR Frank

I can confirm that the Hauppage WinTV solo works well with the openelec-dvb-firmware package from AUR and VLC. KR Frank
Mostly a USB power problem. On Thu, 21 Jun 2018, 17:16 Frank Zimmermann, < frank.zimmermann.berlin@freenet.de> wrote:
