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:
- sudo sh installs810
- Copy the firmware file (dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw) into /lib/firmware and reboot your Gdium.
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”
