Hello, I am having issues with OSMC tvdongle and it’s DVB-T2/C Sony adapter. After fresh boot system only discovers DVB-T Realtek so apparently when I try to subscribe to any DVB-T2 channel, I get “no free adapter available” message. I have TVheadend set up and configured.
I tried to google and could see that this issue should be fixed by Vero cold reboot, but no matter how I do it, I always boot up with Realtek only.
Tried to shut down Kodi from OSMC menu, tried to unplug it from the mains without graceful shutdown, also tried to remove USB dongle (then OSMC freezes) and put it back (tried both usb slots), but no luck (remote control module works in both usb slots).
I am trying with 5V/2A adapter that was originally with Verok 4K+ and also with spare 5V/3A. Doesn’t seem to bring any difference.
