I have one (horribly expensive) PCTV stick, thee pretty generic RTL2838 DVB-T and two HanfTek, Ie astrometa

In Tvheadend they show up as #0 to #4 and at least now does the last one I added appear to be #4. Is there an easy way to math the adapter number in Tvheadend to the actual stick?

in TVH selelct the stick and then expand the read-only info at the bottom:

!TunerInfo!

Tfrom there just compare with your output

Ah.. It was that simple :)

dorin ilut

really sorry...was not trying to be sarcastic. hope i di not offend you.

Anders Gustafsson

No offence taken. :) I have not done anything to our tvh setup for years, but have to do so now because of DVB-T2. I am also looking at an OS upgrade, because one of the new tuners I bought is not supported in my kernel.
