Iām using one of these on my N2 and it works great as long as you donāt connect it to the rear USB 3 ports as it will fail after a few mins of watching FTA TV. Use the micro USB 2 port and all is good.
Totally weird. Will have to look into that one., also as im running off a 16gb emmc, I cant use that for recording, how do i know the exact path to type in for my external drive?, everything i have tried fails.
Iāve had a few attempts with these - they donāt seem to be that sensitive (i.e. you need a better signal with them than other DVB-T2 tuners). I also found that they had issues at some frequencies (Iām UK Crystal Palace)
They were OK - and very cheap - but the Win TV Dual HD seemed more robust with my aerial feed. (Though Iāve lost COM7 and COM8 with the move to UK-wide SFNs that have taken them out-of-band for a legacy Crystal Palace aerial)
Play TV is a dual tuner, but DVB-T only - so it wonāt get HD channels in the UK where DVB-T2 is used for HD (Th Play TV will get HD in places like France, Norway, New Zealand, Aus where HD is DVB-T not DVB-T2)
The Xbox One tuner is a single tuner, but DVB-T2, so will get Freeview HD in the UK.
@vlade if you are still struggling - no need to build TVH on an N2 - itās installable in the Services area of the CoreElec Add Ons Repo.
I was looking for 4.3, to see whether it worked any better. The issue with Hauppageās DualTV seems to be that once CE goes to suspend, it somehow loses the connection and the ability to re-tune.
I.e.:
Hauppauge Dual TV (dual tuner, T and T2 support): - works only of the micro USB2 on the front, doesnāt work with USB3 on the back. Stops working on suspend, requires reboot. Deadly if you want your box to suspend and wake up for recording.
XBOX Tuner (single tuner, T and T2 support)- works ok with the back USB3 ports, but has problem if your DVB-T2 uses dynamic PMT tables, in which case you may get mostly just sound, and often nothing (reportedly it works with Xbox in such a situation).
Hauppage seems to be more choppy on T2 channels than Xbox.
Other options for reliable working are SiliconDust HD-HomeRun Dual or Quad DVB-T/T2 network tuners. That removes all driver issues from your set-up. Iāve had a Dual HDHR running into a small ODroid HC1 + 2.5" HDD running OpenMediaVault and TV Headend for a while now - it ājust worksā, whilst others use their NASs to run TV Headend with the HDHR as their tuner solution. The HC1 draws such little current I leave it always on though.
Separating TV Headend backend from your Kodi front end does make life a lot easier - particularly if you have multiple Kodi front ends (as I do)
For me, the best and cheapest is Microsoft Xbox One Digital TV Tuner (~10/11ā¬). It works with Media Build drivers.
Note: I had a problem with a local TV channel that changed the frequency, but I wrote an email requesting the revision of the transmission parameters and on the third day everything was solved. The tuner was not guilty.
