What DVB-T tuner does Synology product support?

Answer :

Your Synology NAS allows to record and stream live TV. All you need are the following:

  • The Video Station package installed.
  • A compatible DVB-T tuner connected to your Synology NAS (DVB-T is not compatible with other broadcast transmissions standards. Please refer to this article for further information.)
  • The tuner positioned close to a window to get good signal reception.

The compatible DVB-T USB tuners are listed below:

Brand Model Name Applicable Models
Elgato Eyetv DTT TV Tuner Stick All
Hauppauge WINTV DUAL DVB-T TUNER 1172 All
Hauppauge WinTV -NOVA-TD Stick model 1281 All
HDHomeRun HD HR3-EU (DVB-T source only) All
KWorld DVB-T UB499-2T (Single tuner supported) All
PCTV NanoStick SOLO DVB-T 73eSE All
TERRATEC Cinergy XXS (No longer in production) All
Upmost DVB192A All

Note: Due to specific issues, the following DVB-T sticks may not provide a complete channel scan:

  • AVerMedia - Volar M A815Mac
  • FunUV - New digital Interactive TV Receiver
  • KWorld - DVB-T 399U
  • PX Digital Multimedia - HD-325

You can also try the user-reported compatible DVB-T dongles: note that you use them at your own risk, and that we recommend using DVB-T tuners that have been officially tested. Please also note that you may need to connect an extra USB cable between your DVB-T tuner and DiskStation if the power port is too close to the USB ports.
