TVHeadend fails at scanning 2 of our 5 local DVB-T muxes. It failed in 7.x, and still fails in 8.x.
VDR worked as an alternative in 7, but that seems to be basically dead now (in the first 8.x build I tried, it would work once then lock, and in the latest build, it just doesn't find any channels).
And for reference, all channels worked correctly in the Android firmware.But... I found a Realtek USB tuner I've had for years, and plugged that in. TVHeadend works fine with that.
So the question: Is that due to the built in tuner having a crappy kernel module? Is it something the community gurus are working to improve, or something that's stuck because it's closed source?
Also, overall, I love how this exists - it's what these boxes should have been built with to start with
Sorry, hard to help you without any log or version numbers. There was done lot of works in fixing internal dvb tuner issues. Nobody, instead of you, is reporting scanning issue now. In my experiences internal tuner is more reliable than any external Realtek USB tuner. I can scan all 5 local DVB-T muxes (one of them is DVB-T2).
