Sorry if I wasn't clear but he's never had TVheadend working, I've only just sent him the USB tuner, which I was using fine on my B before I sent it to him. I'm now using an identical one on my B (I bought three of them in a sale for some reason!).

So the problem is that running identical builds with the same USB tuner, it works for me but not for him and on his system it's detected with a different user-friendly name (albeit same device-name) to mine.

Does his tuner work with a official OpenELEC release? If not you'll need to ask the OpenELEC developers or start a separate thread to discuss this issue.
