“I installed the TV hat on a Pi4 with a large passive heat sink. The hat overheated and failed. So I used an extended GPIO connected and a large aluminium heat sink, Problem solved. It now works well and doesn't get too hot, but it still feels very warm.”
“I am using a couple of these HATs to build a PVR, using Tvheadend and Kodi. So far things are working well. I have had no problem with the TV reception, despite my initial concerns that there may be problems with the sensitivity.”
“I've used a number of PCTV USB dongles and they never really work properly on the Pi (and no longer supported for my NAS). This hat worked perfectly first time. Very pleased - a multichannel version would be welcome”
