Realtek RTL2832 failed to tune

1st Official Post

    I'd like to watch german dvb-t2 TV on my raspberry 2

    I have a dvb-t2 usb adaptor which is working fine with its correcponding software at Window 10. Thus I know, this adaptor is working.

    I am experienced with tvheadend and its webinterface configuration tool. First configure adaptor. Then create a network. Then add correct muxes. With my old dvb-t usb adaptor all went fine.

    With the new it isn't. I get these errors:

    Code
    2017-06-07 23:00:17.864 mpegts: 626MHz in DVB-T2-Dingens - tuning on Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T) : DVB-T #0
    Code

    2017-06-07 23:00:17.865 linuxdvb: Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T) : DVB-T #0 - failed to tune [e=Invalid argument]

    and scanning fails. Thus I have no services, no tv programs.

    What is going wrong?

    RPi2/3 is too slow for german DVB-T2 channels that are using HEVC(H265) instead of the old H264.

    tuning on Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T)

    this is an DVB-T1 stick that supports no DVB-T2 at all (at least google tells me)
