There is no build - wait or build yourself or use something else (the ppa I told). Btw. this knowledge is not new - it was discussed at least two times in this thread.

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...

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?

I've tried restarting tvheadend via SSH but to no avail. I also just tried plugging the stick in my powered USB hub in case there was some lack of power there. And have just flashed the latest BIOS firmware on the NUC. No difference with that either.
I've got an old ASUS USB TV stick which works fine (SD only, hence the new stick!)

Many thanks for your valuable insight - and sorry for my blatant ignorance... lol

It's a pity that a Linux driver for the cheap T2 dongles now appearing on the market haven't appeared (but they appear also to have poor Windows drivers - without proper BDA support)

Both in Beta 1 and Beta 2 (just updated). After resetting everything, one DTS-MA movie plays fine. Stopping the movie and starting another one results in no sound, stuttering. After that, no video is playable anymore.
