Hi
Is HTS Tvheadend and Tvheadend the same thing? I hope so.
Is this a Raspberry PI, XBMC or Tvheadend question? I don't know, so lease forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum.
I have a Raspberry PI running Raspbmc and using it as a media centre with XBMC. I'm really impressed with how well it all works together (almost) OOB, without me having to be a linux geek. I know just enough linux to be dangerous and have no interest in compiling kernels and all that jazz (I hear that is really slow on the PI).
Raspbmc and XMBC are updated to the latest versions.
- XBMC 13.1
- Linux 3.12.20 #2 (May 23, 2014)
USB TV Receiver is found in "lsusb"
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL2838 DVB-T
As you can see, linux finds the device and seems to have the drivers.
Tvheadend can see the device and configure it.
- It has about a 35-40% signal and finds all the channels.
- I can record programs with the PVR.
- XBMC can play Live TV
But there is no picture, in both Live TV and recorded programs.
All I see on the screen is a 3D rectangle of coloured squares.
I saw some previous posts that talked about downloading from github and recompiling kernels, but the most recent was from about 18 months ago.
I'm in Australia.
Can anyone give me some insight into how I can see the picture?
Thanks
Steve
