After recent update to OSMC packages, my DVB-T Tuner can not work. Here is dmesg:

Are you running the experimental TVHeadend package?

Run

wget "https://www.dropbox.com/s/cdnoarzq1jkd437/armv7-tvheadend-app-osmc.deb?dl=1​" -O tvh.deb
sudo dpkg -i tvh.deb
reboot

Yes, I am.

There is no problem with scanning, but recognizing the dvb stick it self which is not listed under TV adapters on Tvheadend:

[   75.122054] dvb_usb_af9015: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -22

How can I change Linux version to 3.14.29-25 for testing?

I don’t think downgrading the kernel will resolve things. It will also cause issues with video playback as it is tightly coupled to Kodi.

DVB modules haven’t changed in this update.
TVHeadend has been patched however.

I thought you tested new kernel + TVHeadend the other day?

Make sure you cold boot.

If you must downgrade you can try sudo apt-get install vero3-image-3.14.29-25-osmc.

I formatted device and reinstalled 2017.06-1 disk image with 3.14.29-25-osmc kernel and installed new tvheadend package. now it is working fine. But it will stop working by upgrading kernel. I am currently avoiding this by:

$ sudo apt-mark hold vero364-kernel-osmc armv7-tvheadend-app-osmc

Thanks for letting me know. Fractional video modes won’t work
as expected on this older kernel, because the newer version of
Kodi handles them differently.

I am still looking in to this and I’ll send you a message when I have
something for testing.

I confirm this is resolved in latest devel kernel (3.14.29-39-osmc)

Awesome. Looks like we’re about to get DVB in good shape at last.
