SatDreamGr with USB VU+ Turbo Tuner

[developer69]

Hello,

Yesterday I got a VU+ turbo tuner that I bought in order to use it as DVB-T tuner in my VU+ Duo.
I have installed the satdreamgr image "Satdreamgr-4.0-gst1-vuduo-20180106.zip".
The tuner was not found! I went to section drivers to download the package but I could not find a package for the Vu+ turbo.
There was many other usb sticks drivers but no Vu+ turbo.
Finally after some search at internet, I telnet to my box and I executed some commands (opkg....) and I installed successfully the driver.
Please explain me why there are no driver for the usb vu+ turbo tuner in the drivers section and I had to telnet to execute commands?

Second question... I started the RTL-SDR with Enigma2 (SDG Radio) plugin to test the FM radios.
It did not work. The info said that the device does not supported.
Is this true or I have to do something in order to work with Vu+ turbo tuner?

Thanks.

for your first question,please tell us which command did you gave in telnet... ! maybe you installed a driver which presented there (but not using the name vu+ turbo...)

for your second question, only rtl2832cu tuners are compatible to rtl-sdr plugin

I run these commands:

opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-v2

opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-cypress-firmware

opkg install vuplus-tuner-turbo

run lsusb to know which "id" use this device

I am not home now, so I will check it later.

Can you please let me, what is the proper way for Vu+ Turbo tuner installation to SatDreamGR image?

[georgeflu]

despites the drivers it using... (maybe there is already the driver,maybe for the moment the one you did...)

medousa89, this is the page that I saw the commands that I did.
In my case, I did installed it with these 3 commands:
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-v2
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-cypress-firmware
opkg install vuplus-tuner-turbo

I am just wondering if am missing something else.
I just found another page that they said to do that:
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-v2
opkg install kernel-module-cypress-firmware
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-cypress-firmware
opkg install vuplus-tuner-turbo

So, I suppose I had to execute these two commands, too:
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb
opkg install kernel-module-cypress-firmware

Anyway...

vuplus-tuner-turbo is missing , the package is driver and bin _fw
and download packages from vu+

wget http://archive.vuplus.com/download/u...0150303.tar.gz
wget http://archive.vuplus.com/download/u...0150303.tar.gz
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-v2
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-cypress-firmware
modprobe vuplus_tuner_turbo_driver

and look post 77 from PLi

[developer69]

Yes, sure... BUT as I said before, I did not download anything with wget from vuplus.com.

I installed:
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-v2
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-cypress-firmware
opkg install vuplus-tuner-turbo

And reboot!
After that my vu+ duo detect the Vu+ Turbo tuner and I scanned the terestrial tv services as well.
