HDHomerun Prime and tvheadend
Added by Bob Wooden almost 9 years ago
I have just finished installing tvheadend on my Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) machine. Iintially I installed the hdhomerun-config and my tuners were discovered when I ran "hdhomerun_config discover".
I thought I had read that hdhomerun support was built into the current stable version of tvheadend (I installed.) Why are my tuners not available under 'Configuration >> DVB Inputs >> TV adapters'?

I am having the same issue on a Raspberry Pi 1 model B
I am having problems getting TVHeadend to detect the tuners on my HDHomerun Prime.
The following includes the steps I am using with errors I get in paranthesis in the last section installing dvbhdhomerun.
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 1 Model B
Update:
1. apt-get update
2. apt-get upgrade
install dev dependencies
1. apt-get install cvs build-essential cmake
-------------------------------------------
install Tvheadend
1. repo key: curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | apt-key add
2. append /etc/apt/sources.list with deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable wheezy main
3. apt-get update; apt-get install tvheadend
------------------------------------------
install SiliconDust drivers
cd #
mkdir HDHomerun
Download Drivers:
1. wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20150826.tgz
2. wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_config_gui_20150826.tgz
Extract both libhdhomerun and hdhomerun_config_gui to the same directory, e.g.:
1. tar xvzf libhdhomerun_20150826.tgz
2. tar xvzf hdhomerun_config_gui_20150826.tgz
From the hdhomerun_config_gui directory, run:
1. cd hdhomerun_config_gui/
2. sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
3. ./configure
4. make
5. sudo make install
6. sudo ldconfig

4. cd dvbhdhomerun
- Build and install the kernel module
1. cd kernel
