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

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.
