Hi Sam

great work !!

having been a loyal CB then CB2 fan (along with most of my immediate family and extended family)

-Being quite anxious to revive the ATV1- as I am off on Christmas Holidays - I thought I would give a try to the copy the image to a HDD then place said HDD in apple tv method

  1. downloaded apple HDD image to windows home computer
  2. unzipped said HDD image with win rar
  3. utilized a USB hard drive caddy
  4. targeted unzipped image to USB hard drive caddy with the HDD I intend to install in apple
  5. used the Win32DiskImager program to accomplish this task
  6. with the windows computer software selected “eject” the USB HDD caddy
  7. installed the HDD into the apple TV - powered up - presto :smile:
  8. worked perfect - went to my osmc - updates - manually pushed for updates
  9. plugged in a 4 port USB - powered hub
  10. plugged in a ORICO BTA-403 bluetooth adapter
  11. went to my osmc - networking -selected the bluetooth - paired my PS BD remote - it poped up - paired - again- presto - my PS3 BD blue tooth remote remote works perfect :smile
  12. went to my osmc - app store - installed TV headend server / SMB server / cron job scheduler
  13. once installed - rebooted
  14. went to my home computer - in the address line of a browser - osmc:9981 - presto tvheadend :smile:
  15. I am able to see my HD Homerun tuners - however i wish to use USB tuners
  16. plugged into my HUB a WinTV-HVR-950Q as well as a KworldUB435-Q V3
  17. SSH’d into the apple ran the command “lsusb”
  18. here is the output:

osmc@osmc:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 05ac:8241 Apple, Inc. Built-in IR Receiver
Bus 002 Device 030: ID 1b80:e34c Afatech
Bus 002 Device 029: ID 2040:7200 Hauppauge
Bus 002 Device 023: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (
Bus 002 Device 019: ID 05e3:0606 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub / D-Link DUB-H4
Bus 002 Device 018: ID 05e3:0606 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub / D-Link DUB-H4
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

  1. looks good so far as device 030 is the 435-Q tuner and device 029 is the 950Q tuner
  2. then ran the command “dmesg | grep dvb” … nothing no response
  3. this is whereI am stuck - I am guessing the firmware for the 2 USB ATSC tuners is not loaded ?

I was on a roll - any help to finsh this off would be greatly appreciated

kindest regards
