It took me a while to find out that I had to install the unofficial repo and install TVH from there. Now I just need to get my tuner working. It worked when I tried it a while ago so I know it's compatible with the RPi/OE.

When I go to the Web GUI, there's nothing listed under TV Adapters and no drop-down, so it doesn't seem to have the drivers installed.

It's a K-World dual tuner, I think maybe a 299U. From dmesg, it seems to be dvb_usb_af9035. I've pasted the output here if someone could help me please: http://pastebin.com/NsAdPsMQ

My brother's Freeview STB has just stopped working, so it would be great if I could setup his RPi to replace it using one of these tuners (I bought three of them on sale!).

You need to install the drivers

You need to install the drivers

That really doesn't help me I'm afraid.

I checked the label and it's actually the UB499-2T T09 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004D...entries*=0

This page http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/KW...VB-T_399U) says it should use the dvb-usb-it9137-01.fw driver, which is already included in OE.

It looks like it's properly identified here http://pastebin.com/qZVhyZdv

could you post the 02_System.log file ?
the stick should be supported since kernel 3.15

Sure, thanks for taking a look: http://pastebin.com/6yAq261H

I thought I'd try the tuner on my RPi B running Gotham but despite having tvheadend 4.1.2 enabled, trying to open http://192.168.1.85:9981/ doesn't work at all. I'll try updating it to OE 15 and see what happens.

[doveman2]

OK, with my RPi B running build #303 from here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1945332 it's working and I can see the tuner in the config page, although I think there should be two showing as this is a dual tuner unit?

[doveman2]

Tried it with build #303 on my RPi v2 and still doesn't show any tuners in the Web GUI.

Here's the 03_Hardware.log from my v2, where as you can see it detects the USB tuner as a "Zolid Mini DVB-T Stick"

The 02_System.log http://pastebin.com/3ZMpYGdf doesn't seem to have any reference to it however, unlike on the B where it shows:

With my RPi v2, I can get the tuner working if I unplug and reconnect it after booting. Otherwise it doesn't work at all. I don't have to do this with it in my RPi B.

You could try attaching it to a powered USB hub.

[doveman2]

Why would that be necessary, does the RPi v2 output less power on the USB ports than the RPi B?

You could try setting max_usb_current=1 in your config.txt file. This will increase the default current available to the usb ports.

Thanks but I'm fairly sure I already tried that. I'll double-check but for some reason the tuner isn't being initialised by the v2 software on boot, only if I reconnect it after boot, which doesn't seem to point to a lack of current available but some bug specific to the v2 software.

Working now with OE testbuild #809 and the latest tvh
