Minitiouner Hardware
The MiniTiouner, developed and designed by Jean-Pierre F6DZP, is a DVB-S/S2 USB receiver card and a measurement tool that works with the software "Minitioune".

BATC PCB
Brian G4EWJ has designed a PCB for the BATC to enable easy home construction of the MiniTiouner hardware - components for over 200 units have been sold around the world.
All the project documentation is available for download in the zip file:
File:MTK1 Instructions v1-9, Parts v5, Overlay, Schematic v1.zip
Colin G4KLB has done an excellent video on constructing the MiniTiouner:

When you have built your MiniTiouner, you can check it using the software "TestMyMiniTiouner" included in the Minitioune software package.
Compatible NIM types
Only NIMs ( Network Interface Module) or tuners that have the following STMicroelectronics chips can be used:
- Zero tuner chip can be STB6100, STV6110, STV6111, STV6120
- Demodulator chip STV0903, STV0913, STV0910
The following NIMs can be used:
- Eardatek EDS-4B47FF1B+ (sold by BATC shop during 2015 / 16)
- Sharp F7VZ0169 (sold by BATC shop during 2016)
- Samsung DNBU10711IST
- Samsung DNBU10512IST
- LG TDQX-S001F
- Serit SP2246
- Serit FTS-4335 (Sold by BATC shop in 2017)
Note - the NIM Serit FTS-4335 has a different pins configuration (40pins, not 26 pins) , so an adapter for "old pcbs" has been designed by Brian G4EWJ
