I purchased this HAT mainly because I didn't have the facility on my Freeview HD TV to pause, rewind or record, so I thought I would give this new TV HAT a go.I honestly wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as good as it's turned out to be. It was so simple to setup on my Pi 3B+, I was up and running, streaming to KODI on 2 other Pi's in no time at all.The biggest surprise for me has been the quality of the TV picture. I am lucky as I live close to the Winter Hill transmitter. I never have issues with signal strength on the built in tuner on my Freeview HD TV.The HD on the TVs tuner is crisp and bright but the SD TV has always a little blurred with soft, fluffy edges. By comparison the SD on the Pi HAT is much sharper and cleaner. It's almost as good as the ... MoreI purchased this HAT mainly because I didn't have the facility on my Freeview HD TV to pause, rewind or record, so I thought I would give this new TV HAT a go.I honestly wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as good as it's turned out to be.

It put's the inbuilt TVs HD to shame. It's made me realise just how good Freeview HD is, considering it is subscription free. There is also the added bonus of being able to pause and rewind TV and to schedule recordings.I can't recommend this HAT highly enough. It's a very reasonable price, I am tempted to buy another, to have the facility to record two things at the same time.The only small downside was that the connector for the aerial socket popped out a couple of times. I managed to fix this by shortening the aerial to the pi, so there was less strain.I take my HAT off to the Pi Foundation for adding another dimension to the Pi. What other little surprises like this one are round the corner? I can't wait!

This is a Sony single tuner DVB-T/T2 device. It works very well, with a decent antenna. I've used mine to replace a DVB-T USB TV Dongle I was using with TV Headend and Kodi. Mainly because this supports DVB-T2, which I can confirm works perfectly well for me. Many people don't understand the requirement for the 'right' antenna. If you have problems, and a 'great' antenna, then perhaps it's being overloaded, try a smaller antenna. Anyway, the device setup was simple (follow their guide, including the updates!), works well, isn't that expensive for a DVB-T2 device, might be more efficient that a USB device as it's using SPI, but that would need confirming. It seems to run really quite cool for a tuner (most of my USB TV Tuners get quite warm). It's running 24/7, so ... MoreThis is a Sony single tuner DVB-T/T2 device.

Overall, I don't think you can go wrong with this. Though, don't buy it if you are looking for an SDR radio type solution, as those are usually based on the well understood RTL tuner chip, not this SONY chip. I've recorded both SD and HD programmes without any issues at all. Bearing in mind it usually takes a while to fine tune DVB-T/T2 for good performance with the USB TV Tuners I've used, I'd say this boards performance is better than the USB Dongles I've used. Cheers.

Fitted this to a Pi 3 with TVHeadend and at first only 50 or so tv channels were picked up (from the Winter Hill transmitter) BUT I was using an aerial splitter and a cheap male-2-male cable. Once I put it at the earliest signal point everything worked. I then got a 4-way signal booster box to replace the splitter and some better connectors and all is good - 150+ channels. I've mounted it in a PiDrive box (with the drive) and the lid goes on with a bit of sawing out for the aerial. I'm just going to velcro it to the back of the TV. All of this was to get a networked TV signal up to the attic for the new Pi 4 to display to my AV/projector system - sadly Kodi has some serious problems which will take a few months to be ironed out. The Libreelec distribution works ok ... MoreFitted this to a Pi 3 with TVHeadend and at first only 50 or so tv channels were picked up (from the Winter Hill transmitter) BUT I was using an aerial splitter and a cheap male-2-male cable.

The Libreelec distribution works ok but I want more use out of the Pi 4 since it's more powerful than my 10-year-old HP box. If they ever produce a twin/quad tuner unit then I've got a serious backup for my Humax - I really like the customised software pack and you can't get that on the new models.

I received my TV-Hat the day after ordering, which was fantastic. It was well packaged so as to avoid any in transit damage. Apon opening, the build quality looks good, and everything was as specified. It was quick to set up and get in use, tha available guides documenting well how to set up the device. Initial viewing was worrying as I used the TVHead end web viewer and the video was slow and choppy and out of sync with the audio. These issues disappeared once I used VLC. The device is now happily acting as a DVR.As there is only a single TV tuner in the device it is less useful as a TV streaming / DVR than I initially anticipated as you can only view one stream. This should be highlighted as I had visions of using the device to stream video around the house ... MoreI received my TV-Hat the day after ordering, which was fantastic.

Got this put together on a Pi3. I get all the channels I would on my TV. Signal quality has been excellent on my ariel. I'm in a flat so have a shared ariel I expect it has a active splitter/amplifier at some point before it reaches my property.Installed Arch Linux, did basic setup like updates, user account, install networkmanager for wifi. Then I grabbed TVHeadend from the Arch Linux AUR. In its current state it successfully compiled on the raspberry pi without any fiddling with anything. After that I enabled and started the systemd service and off I go. Connected to the web interface. TVHeadend is a bit tricky to get working. To tune it i picked a generic mux preset and then ran a tune and deleted any muxes that received no services. Haven't managed to tune HD ... MoreGot this put together on a Pi3.

To tune it i picked a generic mux preset and then ran a tune and deleted any muxes that received no services. Haven't managed to tune HD channels but who cares about that!I played around with it a bit by running streams from TVHeadend web interface in VLC. That works well but I wanted a more integrated software solution. Kodi seems to be the best way to go. If you install the TVHeadend htsp addon you can setup kodi with all the functionality you would expect with a real TV but working over the network connected to the PI.Its very cool! A must have Pi project if you like this sort of thing.
What a great little add-on for the Pi! I'd been struggling for ages with another tuner and, given my limited Linux knowledge had pretty much given up. So when I saw this advertised at only £20, I thought I'd give it a go, and it just worked! No firmware upgrade required, just assemble it onto your Pi and plug in the aerial. I did experiment a bit between Raspbian & Mini Raspbian, before finally settling on LibreELEC with TVHeadend server. I used a standard Pi plastic case with a 10mm well positioned hole drilled for the coax aerial connection and added a 128Gb SanDisk Ultrafit mini SD card for saving recorded programmes. I built it for my elderly Dad, so it sits on the floor in the corner of the room quiet happily, totally silently with no screen, keyboard or mouse ... MoreWhat a great little add-on for the Pi!

Also works from the iPad with TvhClient. A brilliant PVR solution for exactly £100 (Pi, tuner, 16Gb boot micro SD, 128Gb mini USB, case & PSU). Highly recommended!
The manufacturing and operation of this product are great. And I especially appreciated the detailed installation instructions, which after comparing with others is actually the reason I elected to purchase from The Pi Hut as a Thank You :-).Unfortunately, overall usability is somewhat let down by the Tvheadend back-end. It operates stably once finally installed, but its transmitter data and documentation are incomplete which presented 2 major challenges.1: Tvheadend contains no mux data for the Isle of Man, which for this newby required a deep dive into DVB-T/T2 concepts, sourcing specs from the Internet as well as manually configuring those in Tvheadend. Quite daunting.2. Tvheadend documentation is out-of-date and hasn't enabled me to get channel icons ... MoreThe manufacturing and operation of this product are great.

This is big disappointment from a user interface point of view.However, I'm more than happy with The Pi Hut's role in this :-).
Slowly getting to grips with this, you cannot use standard Raspbian as per the instructions, trawling online after following the instruction using a Pi B+ and Pi 3B+ yielded terrible results, 100% cpu usage, hi error rates etc...You need to use a bare minimum build such as LibreELEC with tvheadend, then you get useable results using a wired connection on a pi 3b+, cpu usage around 15% with 2 channels streaming from the same MUX, actually watched 3 channels simultaneously on PC using VLC. All HD.Using Wifi was not good on LibreELEC, failed to initialise connection on reboot, had to plug the PI HDMI port and add keyboard so that I could initialise wifi. Could only reliably stream 1 HD channel at a time over wifi.Will have a look at using Raspbian Lite or ... MoreSlowly getting to grips with this, you cannot use standard Raspbian as per the instructions, trawling online after following the instruction using a Pi B+ and Pi 3B+ yielded terrible results, 100% cpu usage, hi error rates etc...You need to use a bare minimum build such as LibreELEC with tvheadend, then you get useable results using a wired connection on a pi 3b+, cpu usage around 15% with 2 channels streaming from the same MUX, actually watched 3 channels simultaneously on PC using VLC.

Could only reliably stream 1 HD channel at a time over wifi.Will have a look at using Raspbian Lite or Minibian and others, Recording was ok using tvheadend but could not mount my usb Hard Disk using LibreELEC. HD channels use around 2.3GB per hour storage if you record raw.
Adverts show this product with a Pi Zero W.However, this product would not run properly on either a Pi Zero or Pi 2B due to high CPU usage at 95%. Used a 4B (2Gbyte model tested). Not tested on a 3B which may be OK. Would not work on Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browsers. It only worked on Firefox. The display resolution is not great but still very watchable.
The hat works really well on zero 2 for streaming to vlc. Tried on a 3b+ also good for streaming to VLC. Looking at CPU usage should also stream from an original zero w or one with lan hat.Using the onboard player via web interface on remote laptop from tvheadend is not a great xp as it tries to encode the TS format and obviously won't have enough grunt to do that real time.That said if you get the link from the guide, copy that and paste into VLC and on home/more go to add sreams and past link ther it plasys SD and HD flawlessly. Fine to tablets and windows pc. Windows Media player is not the best to use zo stick with VLC.Setup is simple.

Mo MUX.Some checking and found out that the default MUX list is wrong.I am uk winter hill, default tuning freqs are not correct.Went to uk feeveiw websites got correct params added MUX and set all params to auto.Found MUX and that allowed me to map channels and stream to VLC.One thing though you might need to add the tuner MUX to tv adapters as mine dropped that.After that all worked i added HD channels al much the same. All good.So i don't yet have a pi4 to try streaming via the tv headend instead of using vlc, but i speculate that will also have the horsepower to deliver that way.I also understand that Kodi and LibreELEC do a better job, again really need a oi4 for latest distros.I am happy with streaming to VLC so i can use lower power devices (yay i used to live on MCU's and arduino, so any pi is a lux in terms of resources) to do that, and if its on 24/7 will reduce energy consumption.
