“I bought this to replace a USB DVB-T2 tuner stick which was having problems (Pi couldn't power it sufficiently in addition to 3 other USB devices I had connected). It works well with TVHeadend and It even seems to tune to channels a bit faster than the USB tuner.
The only downside I see is that it uses only the SPI interface, power and ground pins, but it occupies all 40 pins on the GPIO connector and has no way to easily use, for example, the UART pins while the HAT is plugged in. I am going to try wiring the individual SPI, power and ground pins to the HAT with jumper wires instead of plugging in the HAT directly, which I hope will let me continue using the UART as well as this HAT.”
“Brill product, use it to stream across to TVs connected to my Jellyfin server in the house so we don't need tohave an aerial cable in every place so saves me a lot of cabling!
Very easy to setup, takes probably 10 minutes in all.”
“Easy to install the hardens hardware. Software was a pain to get going. It’s written in a way that assumes you know all the weird terminology for areal broadcast standards. Once it got going it seems to be nearly bulletproof and has been serving to my Apple TV well.”
