TVHeadend + HDHomerun + XBMC
Added by PJ PJ about 13 years ago
Hello everyone,
I try to set the tuner HDHomeRun with the TvHeadend server (Linux OS Ubuntu) but I can not. After searching all day I read that it was necessary to install a driver in addition to TVHeadend can see the tuner. I have a list of two tuner but I do not know what to do when I set the tuner, the button "Add dvb network by location" and I propose that Canada or united states.
How to get France in the list ?
Enclosed photos on setting I do not have the option to choose "France"
Thank you very much,

France is not in that list because tvheadend thinks that your adapter is only capable of receiving ATSC. Because this is a north american standard you will not find france in this list. Are you sure this hdhomerun will work in France?
With what kind of digital TV network do you try to work? And can you use the hdhomerun using dvb apps tools?
The "Add DVB Network by Location" button is only a tool to help you add multiplexes. But you do not have to use it. You can also manually add the multiplexes that you need.

Hello
thank you very much for the help you brought me. thanks to you I understood the ATCS standard and DVB-T.
I live in France and I would like to use it with a DVB-T driver on Ubuntu (11.04). I try the following commands:

I tried this

/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 -> ATSC "HDHomeRun ATSC": specified was DVB-T -> SEARCH NEXT ONE.
main:2960: FATAL: * NO USEABLE DVB CARD FOUND. *
Please check wether dvb driver is loaded and
verify that no dvb application (i.e. vdr) is running.
[/code]
I said that the tuner works when I use it with the tool "HDHomeRun Config GUI"
Thank you for the help you can give me

dvbhomerun thinks your tuner is a ATSC adapter, not a DVB-T adapter.
If I look at the documentation then you need to specify that your tuner is used for DVB-T.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/dvbhdhomerun/wiki/FAQ#ConfigureforDVB-T
Did you do that?

Firstly a big thank you for the help you gave me. The problem was actually the configuration file. I forgot to change the ID of Tuners.TvHeadend works but I still have some problems.
every time I reboots the server I run the following command
- Stop applications using the kernel module (tvheadend mythtv etc).
- Stop userhdhomerun
- Sudo rmmod dvb_hdhomerun
- Sudo rmmod dvb_hdhomerun_fe
- Sudo rmmod dvb_hdhomerun_core
- Sudo modprobe dvb_hdhomerun
- Start userhdhomerun applications (tvheadend etc again).
Then when I record the message or do I put the permissions in order to register.
One last question, the quality image is interlaced image is not clear. When there are images fast lines appear on the image.
how can I fix this.
Again thank you for the help
RE: TVHeadend + HDHomerun + XBMC - Added by Hein Rigolo about 13 years ago
that last problem is a playback problem and I suspect not related to tvheadend. Tvheadend just records the digital TV data as it is received and does not alter it in anyway. I do not use XBMC for playback so I can not help you with that.
Why do you need to stop all the application, remove the kernel modules and then add them back again?? Are they not correctly recognized?
