Hi all, I'm trying to setup TVHeadend on an Rpi 3, but the webgui won't see my tuner - Winfast DTV Dongle Gold. If I run lsusb I can see it that way as:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0413:6029 Leadtek Research, Inc. WinFast DTV Dongle Gold

It just won't appear under TV adapters in configuration-DVB inputs

Any suggestions on how to get it to work? Or am alternative that will work easily with rpi?

Let's start with which OS you are running on your RPi-3.

It's running the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (the old Raspbian)

Probably needs firmware.  Look in dmesg and see what the kernel is identifying it as.

Output of dmesg is below:

As per the subtle clue in red above the posting buttons, please use paste.kodi.tv for such outputs rather than spamming the forum with them...
