Hi guys,
I've tried all night long to make this stupid tuner called "Geniatech T230" working, i am really close i would say but still unable to find any muxes.
The only error i get is this one: "2020-09-18 00:18:15.460 mpegts: 378MHz in DVB-C Network - scan no data, failed", but that's true for each mux i have.
The cable definitly works (tried on my tv) and the muxes are also correct (i had another tvheadend instance running a few months ago).
So i've already downloaded the firmware that i need according to the linuxtv page (after a second try the actual firmware files and not just the HTML pages haha).

But still it doesn't work.
I guess you could need my dmesg, so here you go:

I can't see anything special, apart from that the demod firmware gets downloaded but not the tuner firmware...?
Do you think this is the reason, or something else? Any tips?
Thanks in advance
PS: My Tvheadend instance is running in a Ubuntu VM with TrueNas/FreeBSD as the host and Bhyve as the supervisor. I passed my PCIe usb card to the vm.
