If you get scrambled reception with framedrop it might be because of the weak signal (if you are trying it indoors).

Alternativelly I tried also using VLC software which gives me better results than using MPlayer, where I receive stream with sound/partial image, but I get lots of cubes so the picture isn't clear there. I have noticed that indoor antenna will give some errors, but trying the reception outside will give a much better signal with less errors, you can also spot that cubes in the picture will go away, when there is better reception and the picture becomes more clear. # w_scan -ft -M > ~/.mplayer/nfĪt this point I get some partial reception with errors, I am not sure either because of bad reception (weak signal/antenna) or due to some bugs, which I wasn't able to resolve yet. Creating such config file works also for VLC player. It is important that you add the -M parameter otherwise you will receive default w_scan init strings, which will not work for MPlayer. I used it to create the nf file for MPlayer. I had problems using (dvb)scan, but w_scan works.

You need to have the Debian non-free depository enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list. I tested it on Debian wheezy and jessie distribution and the module seems to be integrated into the Debian stock kernel, so I didn't have to recompile the kernel.įirst you need to install proper non-free "dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw" firmware. It is only to display a few basic stuff, how I got this thing partially working, maybe someone can improve the page later with more details. This is my newbie contribution to the ASUS My Cinema U3100 Mini (USB stick).
