trsqr - I just got my NUC a couple of weeks back and cannot get the PCTV 290e to be even recognised by tvheadend. It shows up when I run 'lsusb' at the command prompt but it will not show up as a device in tvheadend when i goto the configuration web page. What setup are you running there with your PCTV 290e if you do not mind me asking?

Thanks!

Thanks, good to know. I tried MediaPortal in Windows and that seems to work ok, no pixelation whatever I do. Also tried to another fresh Ubuntu Linux setup with 3.14 kernel and VDR, but no luck there either - picture gets pixelated when I open the menus or ever bring up the channel list on top of the live tv video. I still only got one tuner (PCTV 290e) so I haven't tried any other tuners - I ordered one August T210 (cheap DVB-T2 tuner) to try. That should be supported in 3.14 kernel. I've got a PCTV 461e as well, but haven't set up the dish yet.

I've been trying to play around with BIOS settings as well, but no luck there either.

It came to my mind that could it be that the PCTV 290e tuner is pulling too much power from the bus and for some reason the NUC wouldn't be able to provide that in certain cases. Shouldn't be, but will try with a powered USB hub between the NUC and tuner just to exclude the possibility...
