damn it, same problem like other tuners

And it has also the same exact chips as the technotrend !!! what a shame. Looks like it will take a while until it is fixed.

first of all THANKS

The sitonizer I bought it again last month

I attached the photos of the plate and the photos of the chip.

Same to me. I bought this sintonizer last month and it has the same chip (B revision). Of course, the same issue ... Tvheadend does not detect this sintonizer. Waiting for any news about a possible fix.

I can provide information (logs, etc) in orden to analyze the issue.

Thanks

Same problem here.

It doesn't even work on Ubuntu Server 16.04 either.

I know that it isn't related to LE but... CvH do you know if there's any solution for Ubuntu?

F***ing hell. Odds of having one any time soon?

could be tomorrow, could be in one year - tbh NO idea

watch Linux V4L/DVB mailing list - Patchwork for patch

I've just sent a message to MYGICA (Geniatech) official store in Aliexpress. I'll notify you if they answer.

Meiden · July 1, 2018 at 12:35 AM

Hi crazycat my vendor has just sent me this file: MEGA

I couldn't try it yet, so I don't know if they sent me a genuine driver

Meiden · July 1, 2018 at 10:01 AM

Well I tried to compile it on my Ubuntu Server 16.04 but I couldn't. I'm totally lost with the procedure.

I understand that is a problem with the kernel version supported:

Anyone can help me?

Meiden · July 1, 2018 at 10:58 AM

Ok, just needed to add my kernel version at /linux/.version. Then it installed succesfully, but now neither my HDStar nor my RTL2838 DVB-T (which used to work before) work right now.

I scrolled through the changes and I have no idea what they did here.

m88ds3103b · GitHub

that is the patch (manually reverted the applied media_build patches) - looks too scary and messy but maybe it works, Iam doing an build

I think that it isn't a proper driver:
