Added by A Nabil almost 9 years ago
Hello everyone,
i recently got PCI tuner Tevii-s421 to watch live tv on Kodi (XBMC) in ubuntu 14.04 machine,
I installed Tvheadend following this tutorial [[http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-TVHeadend.html]] and I could't get any service on the service list.

Any chance you could post a screenshot of that whole panel?
The tuner is enabled, yes?
Nothing in dmesg/syslog that suggests it's not initialised properly - driver, firmware?

From the looks of it, it appears to be Tvheadend 3.4..

Thanks for quick reply Prof Yaffle and Mark Clarkston
my Tvheadend version is 3.4.28
dmesg | grep dvb [12.402958] dvb-usb: found a 'TeVii S421 PCI' in warm state. [12.404084] dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.

You may want to upgrade to 4.0.x the latest stable. See https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepository on how to install it. Be aware that this repository only supports 64 bit Linux!

And, while you're there, check to see if you have dvb-usb-lme2510c-rs2000.fw in /lib/firmware. If not, you may need to find/create it and install it, then restart or unplug/replug the unit. All references I find are to modifying the Windows driver to create it, though, so I'm hoping it's not that.
Your window shot identifies it as an M88RS2000... is it a Chinese import, relatively cheap unit? I found some references on other threads to it being somewhat challenging to get working: not just the firmware, but also changes to some config files. I can't immediately sort that versus the TeVii S421 you show above, though, as that sounds like a completely different device.
