Driver
Use DVB-T driver from linuxtv.org (OLD!):
Preperation: Compile and boot a kernel with "<M> DVB Core Support"
Type "emerge -av >=dev-util/mercurial-0.9.1-r2" to be able to get the latest drivers
Download:
mkdir ~/dvbt
cd ~/dvbt
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
Update:
cd ~/dvbt/v4l-dvb
hg pull -u http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd ~/dvbt
Configure:
Boot into your new kernel
cd ~/dvbt/v4l-dvb
[save your old config: ~/dvbt/v4l-dvb/v4l/.config]
make clean
make distclean
[Restore your old configuration]
make menuconfig (for Kernel 2.6.18.3)
Multimedia devices ->
Video For Linux [M]
Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer [*]
Digital Video Broadcasting Devices ->
DVB For Linux [*]
DVB Core Support [M]
Load and attach frontend modules as needed [*]
Support for various USB DVB devices [M]
DiBcom USB DVB-T devices (based on the DiB3000M-B) [M]
DiBcom USB DVB-T devices (based on the DiB3000M-C/P) [M]
Customise DVB Frontends -> (get chosen automatically?!)
DiBcom 3000M-B [M]
DiBcom 3000P/M-C [M]
make
make install (overwrites kernel's modules)
reboot
Autoload modules
| File: /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
snd_ens1371 snd-intel8x0 dvb_usb dvb_core dvb_usb_dibusb_common dvb_usb_dibusb_mb |

Firmware / DVB-Apps
Enable the USE flag usb. Then execute:
emerge -av linuxtv-dvb-firmware linuxtv-dvb-apps
Or download the firmware manually from [1]. It has to be located at /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw.
Log
Boot messags
Using the customized kernel, dmesg states the following when the Magic Box was already connecting during system boot:
system/modules: Loading module "dvb_usb" ...
system/modules: Loading module "dvb_core" ...
system/modules: Loading module "dvb_usb_dibusb_common" ...
system/modules: Loading module "dvb_usb_dibusb_mb" ...
dvb-usb: found a 'TwinhanDTV USB-Ter USB1.1 / Magic Box I / HAMA USB1.1 DVB-T device' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw'
usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dibusb_mb
dvb-usb: generic DVB-USB module successfully deinitialized and disconnected.
dvb-usb: found a 'TwinhanDTV USB-Ter USB1.1 / Magic Box I / HAMA USB1.1 DVB-T device' in warm state.

dvb-usb: schedule remote query interval to 150 msecs.
dvb-usb: TwinhanDTV USB-Ter USB1.1 / Magic Box I / HAMA USB1.1 DVB-T device successfully initialized and connected.
lsmod
"lsmod" states the following:
lsmod |grep "dvb"
dvb_usb_dibusb_mb 10752 0
dvb_usb_dibusb_common 7492 1 dvb_usb_dibusb_mb

Requirements
Enable the USE flag dvb and (re-)emerge MPlayer and Kaffeine:
emerge -av mplayer kaffeine
Channel scan
Configure the channels: ~/.mplayer/channels.conf and ~/.tzap/channels.conf both share the same contents.
~/skripte/sendersuchlauf: "dvbscan -o zap -a /dev/dvb/adapter0 -f /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 /usr/local/share/dvb/dvb-t/de-Frankfurt >channels.conf"
Kaffeine
dvb-convert.py (see below) won't seem to get correct IDs for EPG!
Search for a few channels per frequency. If a channel happens to pop up twice in the list, manually clean up your channel file with an editor. This is a list for German channels:
~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/channels.dvb contains a channel list of this format:
TV|Das Erste|101(2)|102(ger),|104|1|38912|Terrestrial|762000|0|v|23|-1|16|-1|8|8|4|0|1|||
TV|ZDF|545(2)|546(deu),547(2ch),559(ac3),|551|514|514|Terrestrial|482000|0|v|23|-1|16|12|8|8|4|0|2|||
TV|SAT.1|385(2)|386(DEU),|391|16408|8705|Terrestrial|738000|0|v|23|-1|16|-1|8|8|4|0|3|||
This file may be created via "dvb-convert.py" and channels.conf"
"python ./dvb-convert.py channels.conf de-Frankfurt auto >channels.dvb"
Remote control
| File: ~/.Xmodmap |
keycode 160 = m keycode 174 = l keycode 176 = h keycode 179 = f keycode 222 = q keycode 232 = q keycode 152 = w keycode 180 = e remove Lock = Caps_Lock |
To get to know your remote's keycodes, emerge xev:
emerge -av xev
Start "xev" and press a button on your remote, note the keycode.
| File: ~/.kde/Autostart/remote (executable) |
#!/bin/bash xmodmap /home/grafrotz/.Xmodmap |
For testing, start a terminal and press some buttons on your remote. If you see some letters appear, it should be working. Assign the keys to certain actions (preferably the same as in mplayer):
Settings -> Set short commands ->
size up = e
size down = w
next station = h
previous statuin = l
quit = q
toggle fullscreen = f
Watching / recording TV
With mplayer
mplayer dvb://KABEL1 mplayer -fs -vf pp=fd dvb://KABEL1
With mencoder and mplayer
mencoder dvb://KABEL1 -o record.avi -oac copy -ovc copy mplayer record.avi
With tzap, cat and mplayer
Record
tzap KABEL1 -r cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > record.avi mplayer record.avi
Play immediately
tzap KABEL1 -r cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | mplayer -
With Kaffeine
With kaffeine: Start kaffeine and select "digital television". A list of channels should be available (because of the channels.dvb file).
