Sundtek Support Forum

Hi,

I cannot find where I can download the driver? Under which license type is the driver released?

Kind regards, Erik

The software is only available to Sundtek customers, we do have our own license for the userspace driver application.

Kaffeine wird seit dem Update vom 5. August auch unterstützt.

Please note that Linux 2.6.27 is a faulty kernel, you either have to consider patching your kernel or downgrade to Linux 2.6.26 or upgrade to Linux 2.6.29. With 2.6.27, 2.6.28 your computer will run out of memory after a while when using USB devices!

We are adding more compatibility to the driver by time. The nodes of the devices are virtual nodes, they currently don't show up but can be opened by several applications.
We expect to be finished with a driverupdate to show up the devicenodes within the first week of August.
The next update will add support for kaffeine in order to be able to use DVB-T, DVB-C more comfortable.
MythTV is also on our list.

Wie es aussieht, handelt es sich hierbei wirklich um ein Missverständnis.
Wir supporten leider keine fremden Geräte mehr und entwickeln auch keine Treiber für Geräte die nicht unsere eigenen sind.
Wenn Sie an unseren Geräten interessiert sind, sind Sie herzlich willkommen.
Ansonsten fragen Sie bitte beim Terratecsupport nach.
Sie werden bestimmt eine Treiberlösung für Ihr Gerät haben.

VDR wird demnächst funktionieren, da es sich um eine Budget Karte handelt sind wir derzeit am Testen der notwendigen VDR Plugins. Bei den Standard Softdevice/xineplugin Plugin liest VDR zwar die notwendigen Daten ein, jedoch stoppt VDR das Video sobald der Puffer vollständig gefüllt wurde (EPG aktualisiert sich jedoch weiter). Ziel ist es auch die Dokumentation dementsprechend zu erweitern damit Benutzer der Sundtek MediaTV Pro/Gold hiermit anschließend keinerlei Probleme haben.

Wir haben den Treiber aktualisiert, somit sollte es für Ubuntu Benutzer keinerlei Probleme mehr mit Pulseaudio geben.

Windows driver installation

The driver installation under windows for your Sundtek USB TV device is very simple.
Our drivers are successfully tested and functional on all 3 new Microsoft operating systems  (Vista/XP/7).

(Please note that for Windows 7 the driver is now passing the WHQL certification at Microsoft, since Microsoft is currently working on this you need to bypass the certification temporary by pressing F8 at boot up and ignoring the driver Signature)

To install your Sundtek MediaTV Pro or Gold device under Windows Vista follow the steps below :

(1) First you need to download the driver package. Just click on the following link http://www.sundtek.de/support/BDA_WHQL_Standard_Installshield.zip and save the file in a directory.

(2) As soon as your download is finished, create a new directory and extract the ZIP file into it.

(3) Now it is time to begin with the installation, please plug the device into a free USB port of your system and ensure that the device is connected.

(4) Vista will immediately detect your device and ask you for continuing the driver installation. At that stage you have two alternatives. You can either let Vista search after your device drivers and click on "Locate and install drivers" or continue with step 5.

(5) If you already have plugged your device into your system before the driver got installed or you cancelled the automatic installation by Windows Vista, you should continue with this step. For this please go to Control Panel -> Add New Hardware. Now let Vista search for new hardware. After the search operation the name of your device (MediaTV Pro/ MediaTV Gold) should show up.

(6) After this you will be asked for available drivers for your device. Now click onto Browse. Change to the directory where you extracted the driver to at the beginning of the installation. Depending on what operating system you have, 32 or 64 Bit change to the BDA32 or BDA64 directory. Choose the EMBDA file and continue the installation.

(7) After a system reboot your device should be ready and functional.

The installation under Windows XP and 7 is identical to Vista.

To prove the functionality of your stick start Windows Media Center and choose "LiveTV" from the menu.

After the selection of "LiveTV" follow the instructions of Windows Mediacenter.
Windows Mediacenter will scan for available channels. After this your TV is successfully installed.
