     Dear sirs and mams.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the NooElec R820T SDR & DVB-T software setup procedures for the first time user?

My call sign is KD7PHW extra class.

 

     I am new to the Element 14 user community.

 

                                                                           Thank you.

    If running on Windows, you will need to have the Realtek drivers installed (not Zadig/Libusb.org). Then any BDA compatible tuning software can be used - for example VLC (using the Open Capture Device option and configuring appropriately), ProgDVB (using the BDA input filter), AltDVB, DVB Dream, etc.

     

    If running on Linux, ensure that a V4L2 driver is available and the rtl283x kernel module is installed. Then you can use VLC, mumudvb, dvblast, etc as the tuning software.

     

    As far as I know, originally these types of dongles shipped with either BlazeVideo, MagicPVR, or Arcsoft Total Media Theatre depending on the OEM.
