![]() There are expections though.Īll the products I have listed below are capable of receiving DVB-T, DVB-T2 and DVB-C broadcasts. Generally speaking it is DVB standards in Europe, Asia (except China and Japan), Australia and Africa, ATSC/ClearQAM in the North America and ISDB-T in South America. Before buying a tuner, you will need to find out what is the television broadcasting standard you want to receive. I’ve split the article based on the broadcasting standard. There are several supported devices that are not available on the market any more, so it does not make sense to list them there. This article tries to list recommended USB tuners Linux supports and that are available for purchase. I’ve been working a while with TV tuners in Linux environment. For a NUC or similar computer, you will need one that is connected via USB bus. If you want to watch live TV on your PC or media center you will need a TV tuner. However, the article is written from a Linux user’s perspective. I recommend reading both web links below.Note: All of the products below work on Windows as well. This is the first release which now supports MPV and some other features such as MPRIS v2 Support, new theme, 3D stereo filter and more. Unlike other multi-media players SMplayer doesn't require you to install codecs to play something because it carries its own, all required codecs within itself. SMPlayer Sees New Release '15.11' With MPV Support, Install via PPA ![]() "SMplayer" with "MPV" might be another option as it shows a TV option. "MythTV" is in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM). There are also websites in those posts on various options for this. But, there are some other posts in this forum regarding USB TV and watching TV in Linux Mint. ![]() I do not have a TV card, USB or otherwise, even though I would like one, so I cannot say for sure that these would work with what you have. If you run " inxi -Fxzd" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information. It would help to know more about your system setup. ![]() Is anyone here using such a device who can send me further along the learning curve? DVDs and video files viewed with the same software are almost always fine. BBC NEWS for instance doesn't sound like 128k, although many channels using 192k sound pretty good. Is there any dedicated software for digital TV that I can use, in repositories or elsewhere? VLC's implementation isn't awful and I'm at least lucky that my device is covered by the kernel, but the VLC feature isn't as straightforward as the Windows software.Īdditionally, I don't know if it's just about bitrate, I don't think so, but some TV channels seem less clear than they could. There is reference to Digital TV in Gnome Mplayer's GUI but nothing happens if you choose this from the menu. Without this playlist the older VLC seemed to recognise the device but was blind as far as goes getting any channels. The latest version of VLC seems to support the dongle better, but once I had tried it out with Lubuntu 16.04 I was able to save a Playlist to use with Mint 17's older VLC. I'd used it with VLC but had only got it working in quite a random fashion. I've had the item months but after settling with Mint and Ubuntu on my computers had not touched the service in quite a while. As usual it comes with a disc with Windows software and drivers. I have one of these DVB-TV sticks, which in the UK enables the 'Freeview' TV service to be used with a computer. ![]()
