Hi everyone, There has been a considerable discussion in the past couple of days about a device called the Tzumi MagicTV. This is an Atheros-chipset OpenWRT device connected to an RTL2832P, which seems to be used as a bridge/DAC for a MaxLinear MxL608 tuner and a Panasonic ATSC demodulator. The device is sold at Wal-Mart stores for $13, and is intended to allow the user to view OTA broadcasts using a WiFi connection to the device, which functions as an access point by default. There also seems to be an Eardatek Tevemo device which is similar. uses have concluded that the device could be used as a software defined radio with some software modifications (for example replacing the default ATSC server software with rtl_tcp). However, librtlsdr does not currently support the MxL608 tuner, and right now rtl_tcp (when placed on the openWRT device) defaults to direct sampling mode. There is a general sense in these discussion groups that MaxLinear's source code could be ported to work with librtlsdr, but someone would have to make that happen. I am sending this message to the group, to reach out with a humble request/suggest/beg that someone(s) please help us out by doing the following: 1. Sanity-check the claims being made; if what is being discussed is not workable, it would be of benefit for us to be told so. 2. Start work on forking librtlsdr and porting the MxL608 driver over (if possible/practical); 3. Coordinate with the broader community to beta-test and refine // help spread the knowledge so that the community can maintain/improve the fork and perhaps submit a pull-request in the future. Please let me know if I can help you help us by procuring/shipping a couple of hardware units for development purposes. I understand that asking people to do volunteer work can be presumptuous/annoying. All I can say in my defense is that there are already at least a few dozen people who would be really happy and appreciative if this came to fruition, and "one does not get what one does not ask for." Moreover, adding MxL608 support to librtlsdr might help broaden the hobby to include a whole bunch of other devices; MaxLinear tuners seem to be used a lot with set-top gear.
