Raspberry Pi TV HAT

I purchased this after it was recommended by a friend. It is easy to install and the setup of Tvheadend is relatively easy with many guides available on the Net. However I did notice that I was unable to view channels such as Court TV, Freesports and BBC 4 HD, though these are picked up by my TVs and PVRs. The mux in common with these channels is COM7. I use the Crystal Palace transmitter. Some research indicates that this is due to the internal tables used by TvHeadend not (yet) reflecting the last set of Freeview changes. I got around this by adding the COM7 mux manually to TV headend and doing a rescan. The settings I used were: Delivery system: DVB-T2, Frequency (Hz):746000000, Bandwidth:8Mhz, Constellation:QAM/256, Transmission mode:32K, Guard internval:1/128, Hierarchy:NONE, FEC high:2/3, Fec Low: NONE, PLP ID:0 Once I added this mux, I was able to access the missing COM7 channels. Regarding streaming, the only client so far that works smoothly as far as playback is the Kodi app with the TVH add-on. I'm using this with my Macbook Pro. This works brilliantly with an EPG similar to that on the typical PVR. I am using a Raspbery Pi 3. I am yet to find an IOS client that streams smoothly. Overall I am happy to award 5 stars especially given the price.

I just installed a RasPi 2 on my downstairs TV running LibreElec/Kodi and found out that this was available - so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm very impressed. Installation is not too hard, just plug the extension header into the RaspPi's header, then add the TV hat. In my case I had to remove the top of my case but that's no biggie. For me, in LibreElec all I needed to do was go to their repository, get TVheadend Server and then use a laptop to set it up. As many people will tell you, use the pihut guide, it really is the best (although on my first attempt I couldn't get many channels, so I reinstalled and tried again scanning for everything and it worked better that time!) - So top tip would be break open a cheap SD card and install a vanilla version of your OS/back up your OS before attempting set up as undoing TVheadend settings is a complete nightmare! Also note, I don't think the TVheadend server 'web' interface shows live video on Windows machines (at least, it didn't on any of mine!) Once the server was set up, I've just installed TVHeadend client on all the Kodi devices in my house and am now able to stream or record TV from wherever I am on my network. One final 'be aware' - the first device to log in to the server is in control of it (unless a pre-arranged recording is happening) so you'll only be able to watch channels on the same DVB multiplex on any additional devices (e.g. only BBC channels if you are recording BBC TV) All in all, worth the £7!

This works well, if you can figure out how to use it. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with instructions, so you have to figure it out for yourself

Its Sony CXD2880 tuner chip can receive both SDTV and HDTV Freeview channels (DVB-T and DVB-T2). It works smoothly even on a Raspberry Pi Zero W when using the default HTSP and PASS profiles on Tvheadend (that are gentle on the CPU). CPU load while playing HDTV channels goes up to 20% max. If you have any HDTV playback issues at all it will be due to a low wireless network speed (between the Pi Zero and your router) so make sure that you are close to your router to achieve at least 30-40Mbps wireless connection to it. A highly recommended little device to setup a home TV server and watch TV on your tablet or phone from anywhere around the house. On Windows 10, I totally recommend using the SichboPVR TV client as it is the most complete and stable client I could find.

I've been running MediaPortal backend on my Windows 7 desktop/server with a Hauppauge USB dual HD Freeview tuner and Libreelec Pi3Bs, Firesticks or tablet Kodi clients for recording/playing Freeview, for some years now and very good it has been too. However, I wanted to try for a while, just for fun, TVHeadend. 6 whole £ later, one of my Pi3Bs running Libreelec, a 64GB USB memory stick (optional), and this Amazon supplied Pi TVHat and it was up and running. It even all fits in a standard Pi3B case with a little fettling and I added a heat sink too. As a first pass I used the PiHut TVHeadend installation guide which was straightforward, from which I was able to then fine tune my configuration to suit my environment. I can't fault the picture quality or overall performance, which is surprisingly good. For £6, what's not to like!

There are loads of tutorials online showing you how to set this up, and I found it super easy despite being a journeyman Pi for first time users, user.if you have a home network, and TVs running an Android system that lets you install Kodi (or Kodi boxes, other Pis etc), this little gizmo allows you to rig your home up with streaming TV from an antennae. *Great little bit of kit, really complements my Smart home set-up and gives a 'hotel feel' to my guest room TVs, Buy with confidence,

Never got it working.

Is a replacement to test if one I already have is faulty as couldn't get it to pick up any stations. This replacement worked straightaway with tvheadend.. Also this is the cheapest you'll find.. very pleased with purchase.

Ho il raspberry 3 b2. La modalità di montaggio del decoder è semplicissima, si collega al GPIO. Ho adattato il case per collegare il decoder, perchè il mio chiaramente non aveva l'uscita per l'antenna. Un foro con il trapano e via il gioco è fatto. Il mio raspberry monta Libreelec come distro. Quindi ho installato TvHeadend e poi da interfaccia Web ho fatto lo scan dei canali, aggiungendo le picon (icone canali). Rispetto ai decoder usb esterni (esempio AverMedia), provati su Openelec la configurazione è automatica. Non devi installare driver con istruzioni ssh e lato Tvheadend web la configurazione è semplicissima (nelle versioni precedenti il processo era più complesso). La cosa bella è poter configurare TvHeadend nelle App Android per vedere la Tv in streaming nel cellulare. Unica nota dolente è il connettore (adattatore) Antenna alla scheda. Un po' deboluccio, appena tocchi il cavo antenna, si stacca.

Snabb leverans och lågt pris. Förpackningen var platt när jag fick den, men innehållet var helt. En liten varning bara är att kolla instruktionerna innan du fäster hat:en på din Raspberry Pi, jag gjorde misstaget att fästa den upp-och-ner på min Raspberry Pi Zero. Då startar inte din Raspberry Pi alls, vilket räddade mig. Annars har den fungerat felfritt. Rekommenderas!

Urządzenie działa bez zarzutu. Świetnie radzi sobie zarówno w systemie Kodi, jak i na innych dystrybucjach Linuxa.

... mit dieser kleinen Receiverplatine und einem RaspberryPi4B. Der kann das in Deutschland ausgestrahlte HEVC(/h.265) selber decodieren und auf zB. einen angeschlossenen HDMI-Monitor wiedergeben. Allerdings ist die Installation der Software (LibreELEC, tvheadend, PVR-Client) eher etwas für Fortgeschrittene. Hat man das aber hinbekommen funktioniert es super - vorausgesetzt man hat ausreichenden Empfangspegel.

La carte marche nickel avec tvheadend tester sur un rPi 3B ; rPi 3B+ et un rPi 4. Le signal est stable il chauffe dans des proportion reasonable (sans radiateur) Il a fonctionné en continue pendent 6h sans problème ! Me manque plue que un boîtier adapté pour le protéger. J'en ai prie 2 pour faire un serveur DVB affin que mes smart TV puisse accéder à la tnt par tuner sans forcément tirer du câble coax dans tout la maison et sans prandre du débit sur la connection Adsl vue que les image sont démodulé et injecter sur le réseaux local de la maison ! Seul souci effectivement les petite boîte en carton a l'effigie de notre framboise sont arrivé écrasé dans l'emballage Amazon pas très grave pour moi mais il existe des "collectionneurs" que sa aurai déçu.
