Recommendations/Advice

[GTP]

Does anyone have any recommendations on a USB DVB-T Television Stick that will work on Linux?

Or is there some software that will work with the Tuner?

I have 2 DVB-T Tuners that work flawlessly on Windows, but when plugged into Linux they aren't recognised.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I saw this and many other similar pages, but unfortunately - like this one - they are years old.

Trying to find the "recommended" ones is a fruitless exercise as they don't exist anymore or are not available in Australia.

Some I found in a search wont work with the latest kernels either....

Was kind of hoping someone already has one that works on modern Linux that they could recommend.

Did you find anything that fits your requirements?

I´m currently using Hauppauge Wintv soloHD with Debian 12 and Tvheadend.
I´m using it for DVB-C, but it also supports DVB-T. It seems to be available on https://www.amazon.com.au as well.

No, I didn't find anything that worked. I just kept the one I have on Windblows. This looks interesting though?
I'll investigate further.
Thanks for the "heads up."

I think I have bookmarked the guide I used when setting it up. I´ll check my bookmarks when I get home.

Unfortunately I didn't find the bookmark. From what I remember it was pretty straightforward, just had to drop in the firmware files manually.

Hauppauge has install instructions for Ubuntu on their page:
