I’ve got a august dvbt210 usb tuner, but it looks like the firmware is not in your firmware packages. Will it be included in the final or RC?
The firmware in question is (I believe) dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw or maybe dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw (not 100% sure). Its in the kernel for 3.18 I believe (and definitely in openelec… but is that for kernel 3.19?).
I’ve tried to do a media build, but that fails
./scripts/make_kconfig.pl /lib/modules/3.18.7-3-osmc/build /lib/modules/3.18.7-3-osmc/build 1
Preparing to compile for kernel version 3.18.7
File not found: /lib/modules/3.18.7-3-osmc/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 33, line 4.
Makefile:366: recipe for target ‘allyesconfig’ failed
make[1]: *** [allyesconfig] Error 2
I’ve also installed those firmwares from the osmc firmware section as suggested by Sam in a similar post (but for a different firmware)
Help appreciated as I’m kinda stuck now.
Thanks
I think you are getting a bit confused.
Firmware is generally kernel independent.
It looks from your make command you are trying to build a kernel module, rather than a firmware.
S
Probably!
I was following the steps here;
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers
When it barfed on the ./build step with the error above. I’ m tried copying in the *.fw from openelec as well ( in a separate step) just to see if that would recognise the dvb stick… But no. It does spot it in openelec so probably incompatible firware?
Thanks.
It looks like i am having the same issue on my thread. See attached below.
Following the instruction in my post given by the manufacturer we are trying to build the same v4l-dvb device drivers.
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/tevii-dvb-s2-662/1424/3
yeah. Definitely looks like it. I’m going to attempt to copy the full debian firmware list for dab’s into the lib/firmware directory as I’m sure @sam_nazarko knows what he’s talking about when he says that the firmware is kernel independent!
I’ll try to find the correct ones and post back any progress (probably early next week)
Just retried with the RC (just in case the firmware came with the install). However, the USB stick isn’t recognised.
The dmesg grep shows…
[ 635.230403] usb 1-1.2.2: Product: USB Stick

So definitely not there. I put the firmware (dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw, dvb-demod-si2168-a20-01.fw, dvb-demod-si2168-a30-01.fw, dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw, dvb-usb-dw2102.fw, dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw) from openelec into the /lib/firmware and reboot, but still no joy.
Any help provided would be awesome!
Thanks
Made a note and will see what can be done shortly
Sam
Super! If there is anything I can do to help (including reinstalls to test etc) then let me know!
Awesome! Thanks osmo and thanks @sam_nazarko
Same problem for me here. Are there any workarounds to make the tuner work?
Thanks, Ben
Have the same problem with pi2 fully updated.
Can navigate through the directories, just need to know the specific firmware files needed or where they can be obtained.
Cheers,
Chris
Hi,
I’ve just bought one of these tuners. I haven’t a clue how to get it recognised on a Pi2 running OSMC and TVheadend. The configuration tab in the TVheadend web interface doesn’t show any DVB tuner at all.
Does anyone know how to sort this? If not, is there another DVBT2 tuner that is known to work with TVheadend in OSMC?
Thanks.
What version of tvheadend are you using?, we have just updated tvheadend in the app store.
Thanks Harry. I am using the one downloaded this morning. I believe I should see the USB stick in the TV adapters tab (in the TVheadend web interface) but I see nothing.
please install usbutils
and run the commands lsusb and lsmod and paste the output here…
and ls /dev/dvb
there are a kernel update coming that should have better support for DVB tuners, but it’s a few days out.
-H
Thanks Harry, here are the 3 outputs requested:

hi @whallsey it look like your DVB dongle is not found, nor by USB or linux, please connect it via a USBhub and try again.
and then send os the output again 
Hi. I’ve tried swapping the dvb dongle into another port on the powered hub . Not sure it’s made any difference…I’m using the Pi Hut’s 7 port powered hub from Amazon.co.uk. The dongle is recognised when I plug it into my Windows laptop.

@whallsey well im sorry for me it seems that linux do not see the hardware… nor does it load any drivers/modules for it… do you have another linux box/dekstop?
hi. no i don’t - but maybe i will get something up and running next week. by unplugging and replugging in the dvb dongle, the only thing I could ascertain is that the lsusb command recognises it as this:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0572:c688 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc
If this is really dead in the water, does anyone know of a dvbt2 tuner that will work with this latest appstore version of TVHeadend. Thanks Harry, for your help with this.
