Tvheadend on cubieboard1 with Terratec Cinergy HTC stick HD (0ccd:00b2)
The USB stick doesn't automatically recognized by the Cubieboard1
linux sdcard image. You must compile the kernel and enable em28xx config as module. Here is the example of working config file for this stick and compiled kernel and module.
1. config.
2. uImage.
3. kernel-module.
To install above kernel or if you want to compile the kernel yourself, please follow this instruction from this website. We also need a firmware for the stick, download dvb-usb-terratec-htc-stick-drxk.fw from here and put in /lib/firmware directory.
After reboot, your stick should be recognized by the kernel and em28xx driver should be loaded. The kernel will create dvb device and analog device, but unfortunately, you can not use the analog device to watch analog tv.
Install tvheadend using the howto from tvheadend website, after installation, you can immediately add dvb channel as usual. If you live in germany and have KabelBW as DVB-C provider, the initial tunning data from tvheadend is not complete, so you must create your own using w_scan tool (w_scan -fc -cDE -x > de-KBW) or just grab mine from below:

And save as /usr/share/tvheadend/data/dvb-scan/dvb-c/de-KBW. After that, choose this file when you add dvb network from tvheadend.
Unfortunately, w_scan on cubieboard can't found any initial tuning data. You must use x86 machine with w_scan, please use your x86 machine to create the initial tuning data or just copy from mine.
With this setup, I can watch 4 or more?(not tested) simultaneous live tv streaming on different PC with only 30% less processor use in cubieboard1. But when I try to watch live tv on cubieboard1 using vlc or gmplayer, I can't even get moving picture and processor use is 100%. I manage to have moving picture using mplayer, but still around 100% processor use with audio delay. I already enabled Allwinner built-in graphics and Cedar-X Video Engine in the kernel but it seems not used by the application. Anyone have suggestion about this?
