"Scan no data, failed" errors using PCTV 292e

So I'm trying to get my TVheadend setup working again. Currently running version 4.2.8-36 on Debian Stretch, kernel version 4.9.0-19-amd64. My server ran fin...

R M

Yes it was. It's also been moved onto different hardware in the past without issue.

Does the tuner appear in your Guest OS.

R M

Yes, so the Debian box is the guest system, appears fine and VMware recognises it as a PCTV stick as well.

You’re definitely sure your original tuner was dead. Is there a chance your current tuner is a bad one. I’m just trying to rule out the obvious before you go digging any further. I don’t use VM but it appears your setup is ok. As a matter of interest is there a particular reason for using VM.

R M

Yeah it was toast. I tried plugging it into different machines and they couldn't even detect it. No idea what happened but it was toast. I have a couple of other systems running as VMs already so spinning up another one made more sense than buying new hardware!

Jonas Lang

It’s puzzling alright. I have a dedicated Ubuntu HTPC running with a Hauppauge HVR4000 hybrid PCI card which only runs either in DVBS or DVBT. Wasn’t easy to set up originally but it’s worked through many OS and kernel upgrades with a bit of work.

I’ve never had the need to try a VM but I imagine having your tuner work on a previously similar setup only to find the same replacement doesn’t is certainly puzzling. Might be worth starting from scratch and see what progress you make. As I don’t use a VM I can’t even do a like for like Test for you.

There is nothing new, someone to remove or destroy support for some devices in newer kernels.
I have 2 usb tuners, with stop to work after kernel 4.13 but work in Windows.
Maby case is same, try Open/LibreELEC with have kernel with patches for lot of tuners.
