“All good. I had problems at first and had to reseat the gpio pin connector. I am now streaming freeview channels and recording with tvheadend on a Raspberry Pi 4.”
“Works very well. I have aded it to a Pi4. I can connect to it from anywhere in my house and watch TV. The TVheadend software along with Kodi works a treat once you understand how it all works.”
“I bought the TV hat for my Pi3B and it has been fantastic. I can record free-to-air TV without a smart TV or expensive DVR and then stream them anywhere in my local network to watch when I want, not locked to the specific TV that recorded it and lost forever if the TV breaks!”
“This is brilliant! Just what I need to replace my outdated YouView box! I've got this attached to a Pi 4 and running TV Headend. This is then connected to my Kodi box so I can watch live TV when I want! Straight forward to setup (do your research and pick the correct TV transmitter first!). It works really well and ideal for any live TV streaming project!”
“I thought this would be a good idea to get, not been able to get working properly yet, disappointed with the complexity of the software setup that only a programmer would love. I have set this aside for now, will have another go at it at some future date.”
“The HAT works fine, and the software to use it as a remote TV server works fine. However, if you're getting this to integrate into plex, don't bother. Plex has depreciated the feature needed to integrate the Pi TV so it is no longer possible to do so. This isn't a knock on the hardware, nor the fault of the hardware developers. So just keep in mind, the plex integration instructions on the page no longer work, sadly.”
“Bought to replace an old USB DVB-T, not only cheaper, but also got a USB socket back now! Straight forward to install (following the PiHut online instructions), working well with Tvheadend. Based on experience I would recommend this.
[Note, if you use other pins of the GPIO there are no exposed pins after using the provided riser header.]”
