RPI 2
noggin72:
Just tried the new RPi 2 4.0.1 build (separate to the R Pi build)
With my Hauppauge Nova-T DT Dual DVB-T tuners I don't get a frontend for my /dev/dvb/adapter0. If I look at dmesg it appears that there is a crash during the set-up of the USB Tuner. http://pastebin.com/EJKER8DD (Line 293 ?)
I have run opkg install tools but now whenever I run lsusb or lsusb -v with the Hauppauge tuner plugged in my SSH session hangs. I have to login via a separate SSH session to trigger a reboot. However when I do the Pi doesn't properly power down... All is not well.
The PCTV 290e DVB-T/T2 USB stick isn't recognised as a DVB device it appear : http://pastebin.com/Vzp4tYHk
lsusb -v results : http://pastebin.com/0TJdharU (Have pasted entire result but PCTV appears at line 409)
The August T210 (also sold as a Geniatech) lsusb -v output is here : http://pastebin.com/9T5ENDdq (I only pasted the specific for that USB this time)
The results of dmesg when I plugged it in are here : http://pastebin.com/MqBp8yRq
This is more hopeful - it is successfully initialised and I get a frontend0 in /dev/dvb/adapter0
It scanned the UK DVB-T/T2 channels, found all 7 UK DVB-T/T2 muxes, but something still went wrong when it added the DVB-T2 muxes. One mux was channel scanned (i.e. you could see the service names being broadcast) but they don't appear as channels in the VDR OSD. The other mux failed to add the channels (though it was found during the initial scan)
So good news and bad news. Two popular DVB-T/T2 tuners don't work, but one, not as widespread, model works, but the DVB-T2 implementation doesn't quite work?

For info - here is the output of the tuning process via the web interface : http://pastebin.com/VBSP1GL2
(You can see it fail to tune 545.8MHz - 546MHz at the end, but succeed and find 570MHz but those channels aren't added to channels.conf)
Here's the channels.conf file that is created : http://pastebin.com/DmSJFWfr
I receive the London Crystal Palace tranmsitter which carries the following 7 muxes :
PSB1 490MHz (C23) DVB-T 64QAM 8k 8MHz (BBC SD services and BBC Radio)
PSB2 514MHz (C26) DVB-T 64QAM 8k 8MHz (ITV, C4 and C5 SD main services)
PSB3 545.8MHz (C30-) DVB-T2 256QAM 32k 8MHz (BBC, ITV, C4 HD services and additional SD)
COM4 506MHz (C25) DVB-T 64QAM 8k 8MHz
COM5 482MHz (C22) DVB-T 64QAM 8k 8MHz
COM6 529.8MHz (C28-) DVB-T 64QAM 8k 8MHz
COM7 570MHz (C33) DVB-T2 256QAM 32k 8MHz (BBC, C4, Al Jazeera HD and additional SD)
LW 538MHz (C29) DVB-T QPSK 8k 8MHz (Local TV)

Hello noggin72,
at least there is some progress.

If CEC is installed then the RPI doesn't power down. This is still a bug.
Regarding DVB-T2: So far as I know here in Germany there is only one (!) test transmission in Berlin at this time. Therefore the experience of VDR users in this region is needed. Maybe you can ask the VDR-Portal: http://www.vdr-portal.de/index.php?page=Portal
If you find some instructions about how to successfully make your DVB-Sticks work under Linux please let us know. I'm sure that MLD can incorporate these.
Are the DVB-T2 channels encrypted in the UK?

Will do. All of these three tuners, and DVB-T2 work OK in OpenElec and TV Headend on the Pi/Pi2, and recent Media_Build has supported them (the August T210 needed a small patch for a while)
But TV Headend and Kodi aren't VDR... (I used to use VDR on a DVB-S Full card 10 or so years ago and loved it)

No - we have almost no encrypted broadcasts on DVB-T/T2 in the UK.
However all the services on DVB-T2 muxes are encoded in H264 not MPEG2, whether SD or HD. (DVB-T2 was introduced in the UK when we launched HD OTA in 2009ish, but some SD services are now being broadcast in H264 on the T2 muxes as well)

Hello noggin72,
I'm not sure if this will help but you could try out a different DVB driver package: dvb-liplianin
You might have to deinstall the standard DVB driver first.
