Tvheadend

Quick & Dirty

sudo apt install curl
curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository -r http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install tvheadend

I take it Trusty Tahr won't be getting a stable release via the repository then?

I'd like to second that question. I wrote an article about tvheadend a while ago and used 12.04 LTS. Now people ask me if they should use Trusty for new installations. tvheadend from unstable runs fine on my Trusty test system, but one machine with one old DVB-C tuner is hardly enough for a recommendation ;-)

So if user demand is the criterion for putting work into tvheadend stable for trusty - there is demand.

Cheers,

try now.

Thanks guys for your help! The unstable PPA works, I got my PVR back!

Hello, I tried the unstable PPA and I got it going can I change the PPA back to the stable PPA?

Do I have to install the unstable version first?

I have to remove the unstable version when changing the PPA how do I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Another question are you guys still accepting donations to keep this project alive? Because it works very well?

Is the Paypal account still up and running?

With
sudo apt-add-repository -r http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable
you can change back to the stable repository.

In some days (weeks, months?), it will override your unstable version with the (new) stable one (when the stable-version-number is higher).
You may also get some warnings, that your installed version is newer....

So, If you don't want wait (or you don't like these warnings) you can remove the current unstable version with
sudo apt-get remove tvheadend
(sudo apt-get purge tvheadend will also delete config-files, if you want that)

Now
sudo apt-get install tvheadend
should install the current stable version.

Of course, you do all on your own risk.
