Great piece of kit used along with LibreElec gives really impressive quality digital TV I used the guide to install tvheadend and after confusing myself between PVR client and PVR server I got it working I am using a pi 2 just because I have one although I have a pi 3b + and originally set it up on that but I found the picture stuttering quite bad so I decided to install it on my pi 2 as a media center have to thank the pi hut for speedy delivery great stuff would recommend it as first class Robin Dow.

Works well but, like all these things, you need a good strong signal to start or you won't be happy. If you can't already pick up all the channels you want, perfectly, with the aerial you intend to use, then this won't either. Shame that the RPi 3 doesn't have enough power to transcode (so you can't watch live-on-the-web), but tvHeadend can stream all your DVB-T channels quite happily to something that can decode them (e.g. VLC or the tvHeadend client apps) even when you're doing other things, and watching TV on the Pi itself should be fine. The board design is odd and very "overhangy", but it is a simple-to-use, powered DVB-T board independent of the USB bus. It's a nice addition, and quite cheap for what it does, and it does what you'd expect. They really should've taken the opportunity to put an IR-receiver TSOP or something on it at the same time, though.

Attached mine to a RasPi3B+ and had it running as a source for a Plex server in less than an hour just by following the tutorial here. I fitted mine to a standard Raspberry Pi Official Case with a little bit of dremmelling to allow the ariel connection out. Very good value and very easy to set up.
