tvheadend with WinTV-dualHD

pinkfloydviste · October 28, 2016 at 7:09 AM

I'm trying to use PVR on my setup which is a asus chromebox running the latest stable LibreELEC. I have tvheadend 4.0 installed on my box and I'm able to get the gui up on my desktop but the tvheadend gui will not recognize my tuner which is the Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD. I'm trying to run basic cable through it. I see now that this tuner is not on the list of compatible tuners. That being said, before I return it, I was wondering if there is some way to get it work, or determine whether my htpc is even recognizing it. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Run this command on your terminal and see if your pc recognised the adapter likely it's missing the firmware.

Code

dmesg | grep dvb

EDIT:

Quick search told me the tuner should work with the em28xx driver.

I'll run that code later today when I get home. Wouldn't I need to do it through SHH because i'm trying to get this thing to work on my libreelec chromebox? Furthermore, how would I install that driver into libreelec?
