“Fitted this to a Pi 3 with TVHeadend and at first only 50 or so tv channels were picked up (from the Winter Hill transmitter) BUT I was using an aerial splitter and a cheap male-2-male cable. Once I put it at the earliest signal point everything worked. I then got a 4-way signal booster box to replace the splitter and some better connectors and all is good - 150+ channels. I've mounted it in a PiDrive box (with the drive) and the lid goes on with a bit of sawing out for the aerial. I'm just going to velcro it to the back of the TV. All of this was to get a networked TV signal up to the attic for the new Pi 4 to display to my AV/projector system - sadly Kodi has some serious problems which will take a few months to be ironed out. The Libreelec distribution works ok but I want more use out of the Pi 4 since it's more powerful than my 10-year-old HP box. If they ever produce a twin/quad tuner unit then I've got a serious backup for my Humax - I really like the customised software pack and you can't get that on the new models.”
“I tried it out on a Pi3 and a Pi zero and on two TV transmitters. As a TV receiver, it's faultless, but the associated software needs a little work. High definition (DVB T2) doesn't work, although I believe it was OK with a previous version of tvheadend. On raspbian with a desktop on a Pi3 it couldn't record - a permission issue, but on a Pi zero headless setup it would record. For streaming broadcast TV to any device on the home network it's excellent. It even streamed to two devices at the same time (obviously the same channel).”
“Everything works as it should. Using a Pi3 you can run Kodi and TVHeadend server on one device.
When I tried it on a Pi 1, TVHeadend server would run but adding Kodi on top slowed everything to a crawl which is to be expected I suppose.
The bolts that secure the pHAT board interfere with most cases. Either leave them off or modify the case.”
“put this on a 3B with 60GB SSD, installed tvheadend, great quality TV and recording. Only issue is the epg does not work for HD channels with the latest version in the repositories.”
“Well I'm verry happy I got the item I order it came on time and I'm not going to write the complete review cause I have install it yet but as soon I have everything running I'll write a complete review thank u PI HUT.”
“I used to use an Elgato Netstreasm DTT, however it stopped working and rather than buy a new unit, I just used this with a Pi and it offers the same functionality.”
