Thanks, but it makes no difference, because it is the same, that I described.
But my mistake: I should have mentioned of course, that I use a derived distribution: LinuxMint 21.2.

But I found the solution.¶

This script works obviously only for "pure" Ubuntu, not for derived distributions like my LinuxMint 21.2 (Victoria).
I might have guessed, that there are no seperate debian sources for its derivates.
To use the above script also on LinuxMint the parameters for the distribution and the codename have to be provides in the script as fixed values for the ubuntu distribution your own Debian-derived flavour is based on.
In case of LinuxMint 21.2 (Victoria) it is "ubuntu" and "jammy".

Therefore:
- Download the script manually and save it:

https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/tvheadend/tvheadend/setup.deb.sh

- Open it with a text editor and look for the function "detect_os",
- Replace the lines which automatically detect your distribution and codename with the fixed values as described above,
- For LinuxMint 21.2 it should look like this:

function detect_os {
    # Backwards compat for old distribution parameter names
    # distro=${distro:-$os}
      distro=ubuntu
    # codename=${codename:-$dist}
      codename=jammy

- Save the changes, make the script executable and run it in terminal using root authority ("sudo").

Then everything works and TVHeadend can be found and installed in your package manager.

PS:
I wish, the tvheadend people had given a hint (at their download or wiki site) as to Ubuntu derivates.

Can I myself change the bug status to solved? If yes, how?
