RPI3B + August DVB-T2 no services

StoGatto

Hello,
I installed TVHeadend on a raspberry pi 3B from the apt repository (apt install tvheadend). I am using an August DVB-T210 V3.0 USB tuner.
I followed all instruction and guides but mux scans don't find any service.

I had the same setup on an Orange Pi 3 LTS and it worked fine right after installation.
Is there something I can try to fix the issue?
Thanks

I figured it out:
first of all, doing journalctl -xb showed this:

Jun 17 21:45:36 Charlotte kernel: si2168 11-0064: Direct firmware load for dvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fw failed with error -2 Jun 17 21:45:36 Charlotte kernel: si2168 11-0064: firmware file 'dvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fw' not found

I messed up because I thought my tuner was a Geniatech T230C2 but it was a Geniatech T230C.
I didn't need drivers but I did need the firmware so after following the wiki instructions (https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Geniatech_T230C#Firmware) I managed to get it working.
I am not sure why it was working on the Orange Pi 3 LTS, I don't remember doing any extra steps but I may be wrong.

Anyways now it works. Sorry for opening this useless thread.

It's not useless. Other users may have the same issue and will benefit from you sharing your solution. Thanks.

The Orange Pi3 LTS distro image probably bundled the firmware so you didn't need to manually add it.
