I have spent many many hours fiddling about with various
versions of LibreElec and trying getting my tuner card to work. Since upgrading
to 8.0, or 8.01, 8.02 or the beta 8.1.12 etc I can’t get my tuner card to work
100%.
I have tried all version of LibreElec 8, including fresh
installs every time to eliminate any other variables. In versions 8.0, 8.01,
8.02 the adaptor does not appear in TV Adaptor configuration in Tvheadend. In
version 8.1 and 8.1.2 (latest beta), the adaptor appears, but none of the muxes
work. Scanning just fails.
I have a NUC and a Hauppauge 930c USB tuner.
I am based in NZ and use DVB-T. I have tried manual setting
for networks and muxes as well as present ones available for New Zealand.
The card worked flawlessly with both LibreElec (and
OpenElec) versions of 7ish.
The curious thing is that after many hours of research I
have stumbled across a few posts online that claim that the 930c (2040:B131 )
is not supported in Linux / LibreElec. However that doesn’t explain how it
worked flawlessly and on first attempt when I initially bought it and installed
it in LibreElec 7ish with Kodi Jarvis.
I have limited Linux SSH knowhow… Logic would say that this
is simply a driver / firmware issue.
Thought I would post before I finally give up and kick the
Hauppauge 930c to the curb and buy another. We have limited options for USB
tuners cards in NZ. Possibly due to the tv network and subsequent compatibility.
The only one I have been able to find that is available at the time of writing
is an avermedia A867.
