OSMC DVB-T2 dongle reports itself as DVB-T

Just installed my new Dongle to my Vero 4k. After the usual initial struggles I now have it working with the HTSP PVR Client and can access Tvheadend 4.2.2. from a web browser to configure it. However it shows as a DVB-T and not a T2 device and cannot resolve the HD Channels from my local transmitter. Could you confirm that the supplied dongle is as advertised - “Watch free to air DVB-T2 channels” and advise how to convince the Vero 4K box that it is a DVB-T2 device. Any observat…

which appears to be a known issue on the Vero 4K is it the Same on the Pi? any workaround or resolution yet?

I’m trying to Receive from Crystal Palace but not able to tune anything from the DVB-T Tuner.

any ideas?

Please upload a log via My OSMC.

The tuner has been working on Vero and Pi for a while now.

Thanks that’s super quick response, https://paste.osmc.tv/naqisedulo

I’m pretty new to the whole HTPC thing so might be bumbling around so apologies if i’m not helping myself.

Watching live TV with a USB DVB tuner or network TV tuner

To watch broadcast (OTA or cable) TV on your OSMC device you need these: a TV tuner attached via USB or a networked TV box software ‘server’ to handle the tuning, retrieve OTA EPG and act as a PVR an addon for Kodi which interfaces Kodi to the server OSMC provides a USB tuner in the online Store, the TVHeadend server and the TVHeadend HTSP client to do all this. Here’s how to set it up. Plug the tuner into a USB port and attach a good aerial or cable connection. Make sure your device is co…

[HowTo] Retune TVHeadend DVB for UK Freeview digital switchover

So yesterday my local TV transmitter moved one mux to a different frequency as part of the ‘700MHz clearance’ programme. In theory, if you have Network Discovery turned on for your network, and ‘Idle scan’ turned on for your tuner TVHeadend should automatically update and find the new transmissions. That didn’t happen for me. Here’s what to do: Step 1: re-tune your TV, watching closely and noting down which channels it picks up. In my case, channel 35 was new and channel 55 had gone. Step 2…

OSMC DVB-T2 stick doesn’t work on Vero 4k+

Hi all, I recently buy vero4k+ with the DVD-T2, and I have installed tvheadend available from MyOSMC.

Your log shows the tuner is being detected: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 1 (Sony CXD2837ER DVB-T/T2/C demodulator)…

which is good.

It’s likely a configuration issue as @grahamh has covered above. Crystal Palace needs a manual retune unfortunately.

@grahamh and @sam_nazarko Thanks for your super quick help.

I had read through the first 2 posts you linked but not the Third. which of course contained the fix was looking for.

for any one else who finds this. it was:

OSMC DVB-T2 stick doesn’t work on Vero 4k+

Please ssh into the vero and issue the following commands: sudo systemctl stop tvheadend rm ~/.hts/tvheadend/input/linuxdvb/adapters/* sudo systemctl start tvheadend Then go into the webui and see if the sony tuner has appeared. Configure only the Sony DVB-T tuner and ignore the Realtek one.

[grahamh]

Yes, I think the trick is to step away from the Realtek tuner when you first install the stick. I’ll add it to the Wiki.

I had the same problem and I waste several hours convinced that I had a problem in my antenna installation a good idea would be useful to send any kind of user’s guide in order to help novices users unless via email.

[sam_nazarko]

There is a guide under the Wiki section

[Redrope04]

I would recemend that you test the tuner on a seperat linux box.

Try on kernel 4.2 or higher!

dvb-t2 was added to mainline kernel in version 4.2, so update if possible.

This thread is very old and the issue has since been solved.
