Watching Digital TV on your Gdium

Hardware needed :

  • a Gdium
  • a G-key
  • a TNT USB key - in this howto we used a EMTEC S810

Drivers installation

The Terratec Cinergy T2 is automatically detected when inserted into the USB port.

Under Debian for the Emtec S810:

Software installation and configuration

  • apt-get install kaffeine (under Debian)

kaffeine is then offering you a DVB-T entry selection.

VLC is faster but one need to generate a channels.conf file in order to use it. Under G-Linux, VLC and dvb-apps are installed by default.

To get digital channels in Paris with VLC one needs to :

  • Copy /usr/share/dvb-apps/scan/dvb-t/fr-Paris ~/
  • I had to modify the given frequencies in this file (spécific to the Cinergy T2, from what Mandriva's wiki says)
  • Run the command “scan ~/fr-Paris > ~/channels.conf”
  • Some will probably want to modify the channel order in the above generated file
  • Then you can simply run the following command “vlc channels.conf”
