Added by Samquad Samquad over 3 years ago
Hello
I have a Pi4 with a pi hat TV single tuner and i need 2 tuner.
I have tried other usb tuner which I cannot get to work with TvHeadend. I asked for help on the forum but no one answered.
Where can we find the list of USB dual DVB-T tuners compatible with TvHeadend?

Thank you

Hi
I've been using Pi4 with Tvheadend and Hauppauge dual tuner for just over a year now. This is the tuner I used: "Hauppauge 01663 WinTV Watch One Freeview HD". (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07C7YNWJ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Works really well. Boot from SD. Two HDDs RAID1, and the one dual tuner. I was going to use two tuners, but never got around to buying the 2nd.
The key might be the firmware. Try looking at this page to start with: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-dualHD

Hi
I have this Hauppauge tuner: [[https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-Duet-HD-Stick]]
While doing some research I came across this link [[https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/hauppauge-wintv-duet-dual-dvb-t-receiver/77574/22]]
It seems that my problem with this hauppauge WinTV Duet HD which cannot find any channel, could come from the version of Tvheadend installed on my RPI under raspbian.
I am using the official Tvheadend repository on raspbian with command line:
sudo apt-get install tvheadend
Before doing anything, do you recommend another deposit that would be more up to date?

Looking back at my notes, I originally installed according to this link: https://dirtyoptics.com/raspberry-pi-tv-server-using-tvheadend/
But I am running 4.3-1857~g221c29b40 (2019-11-28T21:26:27+0000), which I may have got from here: https://phillw.net/mark/incoming/deb_packages/tvheadend/
Sorry but my memory is bit vague.
I think the tuner needs to have firmware loaded at boot. Do you see the firmware being loaded in dmesg?

Thank you Lloyd
I just prepared an RPI3 under raspbian with Tvheadend 4.3-1857 ((the link you gave me)
My dual tuner is recognized but the scan does not find any channel.

Does tvh find the adaptors, networks and muxes?

Yes for all

Getting out of my depth I'm afraid. Have you tried to turn on debug for modules linuxdvb and mpegts?
I did spot this thread (https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/hauppauge-nova-td-muxes-scan-fail/72534/3), which had this as the last post:
To get mine working, I also had to alter /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf (which didn’t exist)
Create the lines:
options dvb_usb disable-rc-polling=1
options dvb_usb_dib0700 force_lna_activation=1
And then reboot - scanned fine after that.
Also, that looks like a lot of muxes. I don't know where you are located, but did you load one of the predefined sets?
RE: search usb dual DVB-T tuner compatible with raspbian & tvheadend on Rpi4 - Added by Samquad Samquad over 3 years ago
I live in France.
I don't know how to activate debug mode for linuxdvb and mpegts modules.
I added the 2 lines in "/etc/modprobe.d/options.conf" file I created but the scan finds nothing.
RE: search usb dual DVB-T tuner compatible with raspbian & tvheadend on Rpi4 - Added by Lloyd Adams over 3 years ago
Debug mode - Under Debugging tab, enter mpegts,linuxdvb in the debug subsystems box, either give it a file to output, or select to output to syslog, and hit apply.
I'd then force a rescan on the network and see if the debug output gives any clues.

Thank you Lloyd.
Here is the list of frequencies used by the nearest dvbt-t transmitter
C 29 = 538 Mhz
C 47 = 682 Mhz
C 26 = 514 Mhz
C 31 = 554 Mhz
C 44 = 658 Mhz
C 23 = 490 Mhz
I have attached the log debbug file recorded during the force scan
Can you analyze the log on these frequencies?
thanks

Nothing obvious in the log. Can you post the output from dmesg |egrep "firmware|dvb|frontend|usb"
Have you tried the receiver with any other software, such as under Windows?
And have you tried any of the test software, such as https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_your_DVB_device ?

Grab w_scan from https://www.gen2vdr.de/wirbel/w_scan_cpp/archiv/archiv.html and build that. Then scan and see what it finds. Try w_scan -ft -c FR. (You'll need to stop TVH first.) This should list all muxes and services the adaptor can find. Then run w_scan -ft -c FR -x as this a lot of the info required to create a mux in TVH.
Then delete all the muxes you have and add one, using the information you have just created, plus look here: https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/tree/dvb-t/fr-All
I did notice that the guard interval that you had set was different to what is published on linuxtv. I think you can leave some values to AUTO - worth having a read of this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=227563

Thank you Lloyd!
To complete my testing, I took the time to install Plex server on a RPI3 under rapsbian for testing the tuner.
I confirm that Plex manages this tuner it has found all the channels.
I installed W_scan as you advised me to do
W_scan seems to find all 32 channels and that's positive!
Now I have to delete all muxes to recreate them with the right information,I have to read in detail to see how to do it...
