Live TV Triplestick 292e not working

Help and Support
1

Hi there,

I just bought a PCTV Triplestick 292e to get Live TV to OSMC.
My setup:

  1. Raspberry PI 2
  2. OSMC: Linux osmc 4.1.5-1-osmc #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 19 18:37:30 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
  3. Active LogiLink 4 Port USB Hub (5V/2A)
  4. PCTV Triplestick 292e DVB-C & DVB-T Tuner

When plugging in my USB hub, dmesg says:

[  +0.075734] usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg
[  +0.100567] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=1a40, idProduct=0101
[  +0.000024] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0
[  +0.000017] usb 1-1.3: Product: USB 2.0 Hub
[  +0.001012] hub 1-1.3:1.0: USB hub found
[  +0.000136] hub 1-1.3:1.0: 4 ports detected

Everything looks fine. When plugging in my Tripletuner Stick to the hub, it gives me no dmesg output at all.

dmesg on Stick names like:

dmesg |grep DVB
dmesg |grep Silicon
dmesg |grep PCTV

Do not give any output.

/dev/dvb seems unmounted:

root@osmc:~# ls /dev/dvb
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb: No such file or directory

There is no LED flashing on the Tripletuner Stick. Actually I do not know if there should be an LED, as I never saw any. Can anyone confirm this behavoir? Unfortunately, I do not have a windows machine to test the hardware. On my macbook, there is no reaction to plugging in the stick whatsoever.

Both, stick and USB hub are brand new. I installed the stick firmware as mentioned here.

sudo wget http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/Si2168/dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw -O /lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw
sudo wget http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/Si2168/Si2168-B40/d8da7ff67cd56cd8aa4e101aea45e052/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw -O /lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw
sudo wget http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/M88DS3103/3.B/dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw -O /lib/firmware/dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
