HDHomeRun Duel only uses one tuner

Added by Peter Schriver about 10 years ago

I finally got my TVheadend 3.4.28 as a backend on Ubuntu 14.04 and XBMC as a frontend on multiple other boxes. Everything is fine on one tuner but I cant get any thing listed in services on the second tuner. All of the muxes were auto scaned, the tuner is enabled and the second tuner appears to be recognized . It just appears the services need to be added?

Peter,

Although I'm new to the TVHeadend world (just setup my first one last week), I am using an HDHomeRun Dual (that I had lying around) successfully with both tuners. I know in the beginning I only had one tuner working until I wrapped my head around how it worked and what I was missing.

I'll try to help- but I'm no expert!

Make sure you have the same "Network" selected for the second adapter as you do the first. The setting is found in the "Parameters" box that pops up when you go to Configuration->DVB Inputs->TV Adapters.

Also, make sure that TVHeadend sees both tuners as ATSC- the issue I had when I set mine up was that I accidentally configured one tuner as a DVB-T tuner and had to fix my error in the config file.

Thanks for the input. I actually decided to switch to MythTV after picking up a Prime. The HDHomerun Prime didn't seem to work well with TVHeadend. MythTV seems to be working well

Thanks- I heard of a few others that did the same. In my case, I'm actually running Tvheadend on a QNAP NAS, and from what I read getting MythTV to run on it is a lot harder than Tvheadend. Otherwise, I probably would have gone with MythTV from the get go myself.
