“This product is great easy to assemble, however me being a novice with the pi not so easy set up I’ve got the tuner working great but recording is still alludes me I’m sure this more me than the tuner and I’m having a lot of fun trying to sort it I’m surely only days away”
“I am really impressed with the results on either Kodi and Tvheaend
Very easy to set up.
One slight problem the aerial adaptor is not a tight fit and can come out occasionally if I'm not careful.
Use PIVPN to create a home VPN and then you can stream direct to your phone, Pad or other computer from outside your home network
Brilliant! and a great proce.”
“The manufacturing and operation of this product are great. And I especially appreciated the detailed installation instructions, which after comparing with others is actually the reason I elected to purchase from The Pi Hut as a Thank You :-).
Unfortunately, overall usability is somewhat let down by the Tvheadend back-end. It operates stably once finally installed, but its transmitter data and documentation are incomplete which presented 2 major challenges.
1: Tvheadend contains no mux data for the Isle of Man, which for this newby required a deep dive into DVB-T/T2 concepts, sourcing specs from the Internet as well as manually configuring those in Tvheadend. Quite daunting.
2. Tvheadend documentation is out-of-date and hasn't enabled me to get channel icons automatically populated. Their forum has so far not been able to plug the gap either. This is big disappointment from a user interface point of view.
However, I'm more than happy with The Pi Hut's role in this :-).”
“I am using it as a commodity, running tvheadend in kodi and it's fine, works like a charm. Apparently I can get subsets of channels on several clients at the same time, provided that they are all on the same mux/frequency range.”
“This little board has enabled me to have Live TV and Recording facilities in Plex. Easy to setup, TV was up and running in about 15 minutes out of the box. I'll be getting another one of these after Christmas so I can have more Tuners.”
“I've been testing this out to compliment my satellite streaming. Signal is much stronger than any commercial USB DVB-T adapter I've used, but please note, it is not SDR capable. It is recommended to use the dvbv5-* tools to get the most out of it. Was able to stream both BBC and ITV (HD and SD) over DVBlast with a homemade 30cm aerial from >50km from the transmitter.”
