[mythtv-users] DVB-T USB dual-tuners in Mythtv?

[Mark Schuren]

Hi Stephen,

I bought a Hauppauge Nova-TD (dual tuner / diversity) USB2 stick some weeks
ago.
Works under Linux and Myth with current (mercurial) dvb drivers and a
specific
firmware file - but for me the device only works for the first 24 hours...

I have great reception, but when I leave the backend idle for 12-24 hours,
and then try to use the device again, it consistently fails to tune any
channel.
A reboot / reload of the firmware seems necessary to get it back to
operation.

AFAICT this looks like a firmware problem, because the drivers work very
well for
the first couple of hours. dmesg gives no hints. I guess I'll wait for
updates
on www.linuxtv.org... It's a quite new device...

In general I'm happy with all my Hauppauge USB devices (especially the
remote
controls are really good), this Nova-TD is the first one I saw where Linux
support seems not that stable - yet ;-)

Just my 2 cents.
Mark

Hi,

I'm switching to a frontend/backend architecture and the backend's PCI slot
is already full.  I am going to need to use a USB DVB-T tuner and I was
hoping to get one of the new ones that include a dual tuner.

Has anyone had any success with one of the following devices or can
recommend another one that works?  If there is no support for dual tuners,
can someone recommend an inexpensive but reliable single USB DVB-T tuner?

DigitalNow TinyTwin Dual Digital USB Receiver/LifeView TV Walker Twin
Twinhan Dual Tuner DVB-T USB2.0

Thanks!
