Better forget LE on that system. Install a regular Linux and autostart Kodi on it.

Chances are that the Python GPIO lib is missing. On LE you have to explicitly install that lib. It's contained at the "Raspberry Pi Tools" add-on. After add-on installation you can use the lib that way on your Python script:

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib')
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

Try Etcher to install on microSD.

To the Da Flex recommendation, using the 3.0 USB port is not 100%, but significantly increased the "success" rate, mostly on "cold" start

I think that's a proof of my theory, so data rate is the problem, not a wrongly loaded audio driver.

My suggestion: Take another microSD and try this audio-optimized LE version. Chances are that it can handle your high audio data rate better than the stable LE.

witlen English language please. Otherwise I'll start to delete your next posts.

Good choice to try an USB hub. This should provide enough wattage, and it's a universal device. Good luck!

Then boot a "Live" Ubuntu on your NUC. If you get the same issue on Ubuntu, go for a new tuner stick.

Before we do that, post what you already have. The official PSU has 3A. Is that yours?

PS: I don't want to make you buy more useless stuff. It's possible that NO RPi PSU provides the wattage for your dual tuner. In that case it's better to buy a single tuner instead (see the suggestion from HiassofT ).

It's a little bit more than a Hail Marry shot from my side of the ocean. Explanation for my PSU idea:

It plays for about 10 seconds and freezes.

This can be the point when wattage comes into play.

PS: Don't forget, you have a dual tuner, which munches extra cookies.

Another standard point to check: Make sure your PSU has enough wattage, because the tuner stick probably grabs a lot of it.

PS: If you have a notebook, test your tuner stick with a standard Linux like Ubuntu. Then you can be sure that your notebook will provide enough wattage for the tuner stick. You don't even have to install Linux, because you can run a "Live" version directly from USB stick or DVD.

Possible bad (new) Haupagge tuner?

Please provide a link to Hauppauge to let us see which tuner you use.

Can you please confirm that your tuner is connected to a fast (blue) USB port?

I'm starting to think that either USB speed or tuner stream is the problem, not LE:

harry_fine Sorry to hear that. Provide a link to a kodi.log (log level 2) to see what happens under the hood.

Because of megaprime421 's repeatedly usage of illegal software, I have to close this thread and ban him.

I know it sounds crazy, but please test de-interlacing as mentioned above.

PS: At Settings -> Player -> Videos the switch Sync playback to display should be off.

ghtester Thx, that's it! I don't have the "Off" option, but the menu exists.

How do you turn off interlacing?

I'm referring to this post. I can't find a de-interlacing option on my RPi3B+, so I think it's only available on RPi4B. Search at Settings -> System -> Display, and activate "Expert" settings.

I've tried 4 different cable, eliminating any adapters. But how would the cable cause the problem I'm having, that is, sound working perfectly for IPTV or local media streaming, but sound aq going to zero for live TV?

A higher data rate can make the difference. If you need another proof to be sure about the cable: Click!
Can you confirm that you've been deactivated de-interlacing for testing?

Have you tried "Audio pass-through" on / off at the audio settings?
