Astrometa DVB-T2 not shown in Tvheadend

Added by Szymon Życińśki over 3 years ago

Hello

I connected Astrometa DVB-T2 tuner and I can scan all freqences (beside VHF) with both frontends using w_scan2. However in TVHeadend this tuner does not show up. Both X-Box tuners are there but Astrometa seems not detected.

Ok, solved:

chown -R :video /dev/dvb/adapter5/

Looks like driver itself is not setting proper permissions. I will add this command to systemd unit.

EDIT: It does not tune to VHF.
