    Thanks. That didn't fare too well though. Did not manage to boot from the wetek image, with the dtb.img as well as aml_autoscript and s905_autoscript and/ or any combination of the above.
    Attempted to use the dvb-fe-avl6211.fw as a post-boot addon in /storage/.config/firmware but still no joy.

    Seemingly the DVB-S driver is the same, and I would consider an acceptable compromise for the moment, if there could be a way to use this in afl1's image. Thanks again.


    felixmoldovan Ariva 4K Combo is AVL6211+AVL6762, afl1 implemented drivers for AVL6862+R848.

    Thanks and also congrats for your work! I suppose learning also involves asking silly questions :)
    Rephrasing this, can I ask what are the chances of Ferguson Ariva 4K Combo being supported (tuners and CA module included), or what would be the level of effort (and knowledge) needed for building a port?
    Thanks again, Felix

    // Just to give a bit of background, the Ariva box is comprehensive and seemed to meet my criteria when I researched the market. However, shortly after firing it up I realized there is no way to enable Leanback android apps (Netflix in particular via build.props), and the whole UX is clunky and frustrating to use. As a solution, I am contemplating using it as a live TV backend only, and buying a proper androidTV device like a Nvidia Shield for a unified UX... This would involve running the TVHeadend on it (not necessarily the full LibreELEC stack, although that is one way of doing it).
    I suppose not everybody will agree with this setup, but goal is to have something easy enough to use by my 7 years old son. And my wife, if not too much to ask :)
