A project log for DIY DVB-T/DVB-S receiver/streamer

DVB receiver/streamer using "bare metal" tuner (without USB DVB dongle)

I have at my hands tuner SHARP F7HZ0169, which has STV0903BAB and STV6110A in it. I will focus on this tuner for now.

There is linux module driver stv090X, which contains all stuff related to I2C. It seems that this part can be reused without any modification.

http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.6/source/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c

However I'm not sure how is transport stream handled, I am currently investigating drivers to find that out, but I have a hunch, that it will be done through USB, which is not what I'm looking for.

But I need to investigate further to be sure.

Any help on this is appreciated...

Search for minitiouner and you will find some great info including working hardware with companion software that reads the transport stream. Built one of these myself from this guys design, simple design and software great for learning about DVBS and tinkering with the transport stream.
