Tvheadend

There are no packages for 15.04 (Vivid) yet, which is why you're getting the 404. Use an earlier reference in your sources for the time being.

http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists/

http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable/dists/

Aaah ok! Could you write what I need to type in the terminal? I'm a not so skilled with Ubuntu :D

Have a look at /etc/apt/sources.list - it will contain lines such as (from memory, apologies):

deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists vivid main

Find these and simply change them to:

deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists trusty main

And then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tvheadend

You may want to look at the unstable channel, by the way - 3.4 (which is in stable) is looking old now - just be aware that unstable will give you 3.9, and you'll get very regular updates, but some might break. Your choice :-)

Where do I find this /etc/apt/sources.list and how do I edit it?

Well, it's in /etc/apt, and it's called sources.list, but that's obviously not clear to you, so let's try this...

On a command line, cd /etc/apt

ls -la at that point will show you:

• sources.list, which is a file that contains various sources, and

• sources.list.d, which is a directory that contains files that contain more sources

Most likely in sources.list

You need to edit it as root, so I'd use sudo vi <file>. You may prefer something like sudo nano <file>, though, or even sudo mousepad <file>. It depends what GUI editors you have installed.

If you're entirely GUI-based, and want to avoid the command line, start the Ubuntu Software Centre - select Edit -> Software Sources, and that's doing the same in a more user-friendly format.

You can also get at it through the Synaptic Package Manager. There, the same editing window is under Settings -> Repositories.

Take your pick :)

Thanks. I managed to install it but now have a new problem. I followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtnwqZNT4p8 YouTube video and set my channels. However when the scan starts I get this error:

linuxdvb: DiBcom 7000PC : DVB-T #0 - failed to tune [e=Invalid argument]

Changed to my region in network settings and now I get this:
2015-05-10 22:00:05.789 subscription: 000F: "scan" subscribing to mux "477MHz", weight: 5, adapter: "DiBcom 7000PC : DVB-T #0", network: "A", service: "Raw PID Subscription"

2015-05-10 22:00:10.124 mpegts: 477MHz in A - scan no data, failed

I got some channels with different region setting in network settings. CHannel search takes very long time.

For trusty deb only from 13-May-2015.
but here http://tvheadend.org/builds/tvheadend/build/10330 Status build done !

Sorry I am bad in English

Best to look here for 3.4/stable:

http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/pool/main/t/tvheadend/

and here for 3.9/unstable/'nightly':

http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable/pool/main/t/tvheadend/

You can see what builds exist for what distros and architecture.
