The Knucker receiver project is a DVB-T USB receiver based around the Serit FTM-4762 NIM.

Currently in November 2020 it is at the design phase with a proof of concept receiver working on bread board hardware.

The PCB design by Mike G0MJW is based on the MiniTiouner Version 2 board - the photo shows the first protype built but not tested.

Software

It is intended to develop a core DVB-T receiver application which will be intergrated in to the LongMynd Linux based receiver.

It is envisaged that a set top box version of the code will be developed using the RydePlayer and will be known as the Knucker receiver. It is also planned that the Portsdown DATV system will be enhanced to include the DVB-T receiver.
