Astrometa DVB-T2 problem: TVH only shows frontend0 DVB-T Realtek demodulator, but not showing frondtend1 SONY cxd2837er DVB-T2 demodulator.
I used Kaffeine and there I can use frondtend1. TVH has problem.
What could be the reason? Why TVH can't recognized SONY cxd2837er DVB-T2 demodulator on frondtend1? (refer to screenshot#1)


Hi,

You are best off asking this question on the boards at http://www.tvheadend.org. This forum is primarily concerned with the Kodi TVH addon, not the main TVH server software.

 Hi,

I'm running ubuntu 18, with 5.0 (beta) Kernel.  On hardware level system recognizes USB stick with 2 frontends: frontend0 for DVB-T and frontend1 for DVB-T2. 

To test it, I used kaffeine software and DVB-T2 is working and showing channels. 

Problem is that TVH can't recognize frontend1 DVB-T2 adapter. Only recognizes DVB-T.

Ps. How can I check if Im running T2 mod kernel to confirm? any terminal command to check?

Hmm - if you can tune DVB-T2 services in other Linux apps on the same install then something else is amiss.

I don't have an Astrometa - but do have a bunch of other DVB-T2 sticks.  None of them appear as a separate DVB-T and DVB-T2 devices in TV Headend - they appear as combined DVB-T/T2 device (sometimes with a separate option for DVB-C in the same device). This may be because they are based on a single tuner/demod solution (AIUI the Astrometa has a DVB-T tuner/demod device with a separate, Panasonic, DVB-T2 demod added - though that may be an older version?)

I'd ask around on the TV Headend forum for some more assistance. 

Stupid question - but have you tried tuning DVB-T2 services using the single instance that appears in TV Headend?
