want to use DVB-T usb with tf101 device. someone know somehting about drivers? thank you

+1
will like to know too

there might be a tiny tiny possibility - but there are several things that would need to be done:
1. You need a rooted transformer
2. A kernel-dev would have to include the drivers for your TV-card in their kernel
3. You would need to flash that kernel
4. Someone would have to write an app that can handle TV-cards
But all this is pure theoretical

there is app for watching dvb on android http://code.google.com/p/archos-gen8-dvb/source/browse/#svn/trunk/sources/LiveTV can be imho run on transformer with usable kernel modules for your dvb cards untested because nonrootable tf :/

I'm no developer, but as far as I know the link you posted was made for a froyo based tablet.
Perhaps this won't work on Honeycomb ... but maybe there's a developer out there to "update" this app and make DVB-T available on the transformer.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

I'd be happy with an app that could either act as a frontend for MythTV or Windows MC, or that could use a Silicondust HDHomeRun network ATSC/ClearQAM tuner.
I haven't been able to get a MythTV backend running on my netbox PC, but I might be able to run ubuntu or something in a virtualbox VM if need be to get MythTV working. I don't know much about MythTV... whether it uses UPnP or DLNA or some other server type to make videos available. I figured that you'd need a client that 'understands' MythTV's setup in order for it to work as a frontend, and I can't seem to find an Android app that claims to support it.

My solution is complicated but works fine.
I have a tuner (an old hauppauge usb stick) installed on my home server. I then use dvblink (can't recall url - poss dvblogic.com) to share the tuner across my network and its detected as a local tuner by wmc (you dont have to do this, its just my setup). It costs maybe £20 or similar.
The important bit is that Dvblink also acts as a dlna server, and comes with an android app that will allow you to watch the signal on your transformer (i prefer swifta to the app myself). Will work for any tuner really, not just dvb-t.
In theory, you could also connect to the dlna server via the web, but i never have.

Any driver to control the MHL from the PC?

Sorry for my English .. Hello everyone first of all.
I have a HTC Sensation and I like to control from a touch screen, using this connector MHL, I read that in the Ice Cream Sandwich version that I have installed, you can now control is provided through an USB port.
The truth did not know very well where to place this post, but I think the media is the main function and see if you're lucky, the idea is to propose or if anyone knows, the android can control from your PC, as the case Samsung TVs that recognize the application MHL Device Anynet + (post link). The idea is to connect mobile phone to a computer with a touch screen and control it from the screen contenplando the quality of this type of connection and future applications, CarPC, game systems, internet browsers.
So far the closest I've seen is through a remote program or Android QtADB Commander, but they perform a virtualization and graphics functions are very limited (videos, photos, games, etc. ..).
An interesting idea would be that an application for Android was able to control the touch screen driver THROUGH USB host our phones, this topic is more interesting and juicy indeed already been mentioned in some places but unfortunately I guess we have to wait to get the ICS to Partin, do not you think?.
For those interested in the latter is here.
Greetings.

[Q] Custom JB rom with Miracast support for TF101?

Is there any custom roms with Miracast support for TF101? Is it stable enough to everyday use (I hope at least these are working: camera, mic, dock, gps)? Have you tried yet that Miracast thing?
Thanks,

BUMP!
I didn't get any replies so let me ask again.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063406
Is there Miracast support for this rom? At least it is 4.2 version of Android that should contain that Miracast thing.
Is there 4.2 version of CyanogenMod 10 available for TF101?

I just try to find some answers before I will choose one for test round. I think I will buy "Netgear PTV3000 Push2TV HD" and connect it to my TV. So any comments about Miracast are mostly welcome!
If you dont know what is Miracast
Miracast is a peer-to-peer wireless screencast standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Billed as an open alternative to Apple's AirPlay Mirroring, it allows users to, for example, echo display from a phone made by Company A onto a TV made by Company B, share a laptop screen with the conference room projector in real-time, and watch live programs from a home cable box on a tablet. Miracast connections are formed via Wi-Fi Direct, which allows direct Wi-Fi connections in a similar manner to bluetooth.Miracast only works over Wi-Fi. It cannot be used to stream to a router access point.
On 29 October 2012, Google announced that Android version 4.2 (updated version of Jelly Bean) will support the Miracast wireless display standard, and by default will have integrated features for it. As of January 8, 2013, the Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z, ZL, T and V officially support the function.

After reading a little about it, it seems you need to be certified to use it, and the TF101 isn't in the list. Funny though that people report the Nexus 7 has having it but it's not listed there... So maybe you don't actually need to be certified... or maybe Google just didn't feel like listing themselves on there.
I can also confirm that the ROM in my sig (EOS4 - 4.2 JB MR1) does not have any extra options in the display settings. So unless the option is hidden elsewhere, I think it's safe to assume it's not there at all.

Thanks for the information.
Following HowTo is based of this ROM --> [ROM][WiP] Android 4.2 on TF101 | v0.8.0 XMAS | 4.2 GAPPS"
How To Install CM10.1 Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean on TF101 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer

That HowTo mentions about Miracast support but I'm not sure anymore is it just some Android 4.2.1 copy/paste information. If anyone use that ROM could you check is there any Miracast settings available?

I'd also like to get an answer for this if anyone has already tested these roms.
thx.

if we can'tget miracast, there's an app named MirrorOp
give it a try. not bad...

One discussion about why Miracast isn't enabled in the custom roms?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37226818

I understand that there could be some problems when TF101 use 2.4 ghz wifi and it lack 1080p resolution. But I think it all just speculation until some one enable that Miracast code and test it. We don't have any word from our Rom developers about this Miracast thing. They should actually enable it, take a look the code and test it. It would be nice feature to listen Spotify using your TV with Hifi amplifier or just watch movies with lower 720p hd resolution if that is possible with our tablet.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was proprietary code put into android that us mortals won't have access to.

Hello together.
Are there any news regarding an Android 4.2.2 Custom Rom for the TF101 with Miracast support.
I have a new LG TV Model 47LA7408 and I would like to use the second screen feature to stream the tv programm to my Tablet. But this requires Android 4.2.2 with Miracast.
Thank you for replies.

There are only a VERY FEW Android devices that support Miracast. ALL of these devices have 5 GHz radios, as do the TV's that support Miracast as well.
It is safe to say that the TF101 will not ever support Miracast.
Best option that I have found is to use an app that can connect to a DLNA server/player to play movies/videos from my tablet and put them on the TV.
Either that or get an HDMI cable and plug that in to your tablet to put the picture on the screen.

Hmm...
It can be done if you use a slingbox. But that can be a bit expensive...

My TV has a feature called second TV/ Second Screen. This gives the user the possibility to stream the tv signal to the LG remote APP on the users android. But this feature requires Android 4.2.2 and Miracast.

Then you will need a Miracast certified device: http://certifications.wi-fi.org/sea...ate_to=&selected_certifications[]=67&x=37&y=8
Miracast uses 5 GHz, which the TF101 does not have. To use this feature on the TF101 you would need to add a 5GHz radio and get it functioning (driver) and then see about enabling Miracast in the ROM.
I would love to have Miracast support on my TF101, but I do realize that it is 2 year old hardware and it is not supported or practical at this point.

Hi guys
You doesn't need any of the patches or 3rd party apps.
You just need to follow these steps in order to use cast screen in custom roms:
1. Just enable wifi 'on'
2.Open cast & it shows all available devices:fingers-crossed:

Point of View HDMI Smart TV Dongle

hi all, i have bought the above smart tv dongle thingy from maplins
http://www.maplin.co.uk/point-of-view-hdmi-smart-tv-dongle-android-4.1-685649
anyone have one of these? im pretty impressed with it, im not too happy with the menu though and id like to customize it a bit.. any ideas on what can be done with this device?
Thanks

First thing to do with this device
I just got one.
First thing I did was install ADW Launcher Ex on it and get rid of the horrible launcher it came with.
Now I have a very fast 42" tablet, with widgets, live wallpapers the lot, no root required.
This thing has loads of potential, but if you read the customer reviews on Maplin you'll see they haven't understood that this is Android and you can customise the heck out of it.
The only thing I've found missing so far is a lock screen in case you don't want others using it while your not there without unplugging it. I also heard it loses datetime if you unplug it, not surprising as it doesn't have an internal clock battery.
It's surprisingly fast, but if you're mouse pointer will lag under heavy load.
Still exploring potential will post back as I find out more.

Ah thanks! I have since rooted and installed different firmware! I found out that it was a re-branded Rikomagic MK802III and installed the latest firmware for that device which is way better. I have XBMC running alongside MX Player Hardware video decoding, all is sweet. I found out all I needed from this guys post. Enjoy

Point of View HDMI Smart TV dongle - interface & WD My Passport
Hi,
I have just bought the hdmi dongle and m not very technology savvy. One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to connect my WD My Passport to it to play movies etc. However I can't seem to change the settings on the menu - so when I click on Movies - rather than all my separated folders showing up - instead it shows an icon of my 1500 movies (which includes about 750 clips of my kids). I can't seem to find a way to get it to display the folders, or even a list of the movies rather than the huge icons! Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Colette

I wish i could help. Noble endeavor. i wish you the best!
Now, to clarify: are you saying that the MiBox isn't recognizing the Xbox USB tuner? If so, let me say, the mibox USB tuner support has rarely been seen and frankly took a back seat to ALL the the other HUGE problems, headaches, and flat-out negligent support with this device and by it's manufacturer. a real shame. i did have two USB tuners working with the nougat-era betas. I don't know how important this is, but i should add that I noticed if you have a hdhomerun network tuner for some reason this made it impossible ever see any USB DONGLE TUNER - IF THE HDhomerun was setup as "network tuner."
i was able to use a avermedia volar hybrid q H837 and a Hauppauge 955q (nearly same as xbox one) well enough. otherwise i mostly used the HDhomerun tuner by itself. it works fine on MM, Nougat, Oreo, etc The issue with the dongles is the drivers. some guys over on the nvidia shield forums were able to do what you want with the shield. but these devices are very different and the Mibox has a locked bootloader, and only really with nougat can you sneak in a tiny bit, but you are handicapped. with oreo, it is hopeless as of todays date.
