Hi I just transformed windows 10 Kodi + NextPVR htpc into a LibreElec 8.1.1 + TVheadend htpc.
This new LibreElec machine works very nice and fast, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get Kodi TV working with my Elgato EyeTV One USB DVB-T tuner.
This USB DVB-T tuner is one of the few DVB-T tuners that contains a slot for a conax smartcard.
In my country the most of the DVB-T TV channels are encrypted and it's not possible to watch these channels without using a smartcard.
It't not being shown in TVHeadend under TV adapters.
lsusb does give an Elgato Device 002 on Bus 001, but no mention of any in dmesg:

Looking for answers the only usefull info I could find was on the Ubuntu forum, but the fxload command they mention is not available in LibreElec ssh commandline and no explanation is given on how to create the driver. Also I haven't been able to find the Mac driver with eyetvsatfree.hex yet.

seem it needs a firmware for its usb chipset ( usb id will be swap correctly then)its a cypress fx2 chip ( download the mac driver and find eyetvsatfree.hex
if you have that install fxload
lsusb to fill in adress of usb -->xxx/xxx
sudo fxload -t fx2 -I ./eyetvsatfree.hex -D /dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx
then you will have tunner . now only create a correct driver for it and udev
