buying advice DVB-T
Added by Mario Zivkovic over 11 years ago
Hello together
Actually I have a Philips TDA-10023 DVB-C card in my Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit) mediacenter, and it want really work stable with tvheadend (see https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/boards/5/topics/7797).
Now I want to replace this tv card with a tvheadend-supported DVB-T card or stick.
Is one of this sticks full supported by tvheadend?:
- Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-T-Stick
- PCTV Nanostick T2 290e
or do you can recommend me a full supported DVB-T card/stick?
Please help me
Mario

Both of those work fine - it's Linux support that's the problem, not tvheadend per se. Some folks would probably recommend going with internal cards rather than USB if possible, although I'm a big fan of the PCTV sticks myself.

Thank's for input
Do you have the PCTV-stick?
Is the PCTV full supported by linux?
I mean, do you have the signal quality enabled in tvheadend?
How obout EPG, is this supported?

I've got a couple of PCTV sticks (290e and 460e, I think - one DVB-T2 and one DVB-S2) - as well as the WinTV-Nova-TV (old version for DVB-T) - all work well. You need to watch your kernel version, as supports gets better in 3.0+ (shouldn't be a problem if your Linux distro is less than a couple of years old).
Yes, I have signal quality on the 290e on tvheadend 3.5.23~g4724e01-dirty; the 460e, not sure, as that's on an older version of tvh that doesn't report the SNR. All I have is the signal strength in Configuration/Multiplexes.
EPG works fine, that gets picked up from the provider if tvh has the right OTA module (e.g. Freeview or Freesat in the UK). Otherwise, you can still use XMLTV.
