Thanks Saarg, I'll try your suggestions and get back to you. Thanks for looking through the log file BR Nigel

Hi Monkeyair, Do you have 'one' of the Dual/Quad TBS cards ? I see they are circa £100 plus... I wonder if anyone has successfully used more than 1 identical device in the same set-up ? I am ideally looking for a 4 (quad) tuner set-up so as to prevent the occasional blocking due to schedule conflicts, having HD would probably be a bonus but not sure how the Raspberry Pis would handle this or may relatively basic PC set up so it's not a deal breaker... I'm so impressed with the functionality available it's just getting it tweaked to deal with a few rough edges in my install.. All the best Nigel

OK, while it looked as if one of my TV Sticks were faulty I have now swapped them and they both work on their own when connected individually... (only one USB connected at a time). I dare to suggest that because it is two 'identical' USB devices the app is not reacting well to having them both connected simultaneously. Not sure what the next step should be

Thanks Saarg and Monkeyair for the quick responses. I'll try disconnecting each of the USB devices in turn to see if it is connecting to both or just one. I have managed to use both simultaneously using a windows app on the same machine previously but was attracted to the unRAID / Docker setup. I have been using unRAID as a NAS for 5 years plus and have another machine dedicated for that. This is more of a pre-production set-up to get the PVR function stable enough to get SWMBO approval... and then build on functionality with a few other Dockers.... I did download the plugin MediaTreeCheck and it shows: Media Tree: DETECTED DVB Adapter: DETECTED I have attached the Syslog which I hope is useful. I did look through it and saw at least one of the receivers being detected but it's not clear to me if both are seen.... Disadvantage of two identical tuners ? My ambition is to add a third USB tuner if possible so I can access all my local muxes simultaneously (No blocking of recordings of any channel across all DVB-T, not bothered about DVB-T2 just yet). I had considered the HDHomerun as it seems more robust than USB but they are not readily available in the UK and cost is always an issue... Thanks again, I do some more testing of the H/W and update later today. Best Regards TVHeadend_SysLog_160130.txt

Hi Guys, Forgive my ignorance and please be gentle.... I am setting up TVHeadend as the back-end for a number of Raspberry Pis and PCs at home. I have TVHeadend running in a Docker in unRAID 6.1.7. I am hoping two use two USB DVB-T tuners (4 receivers) Afatech AF9033 The application is pretty much up and running but I cannot get the s/w to see all 4 tuners... At this time I can see /dev/dvb/adapter0 & /dev/dvb/adapter1 Both devices show Afatech AF9033 (DVB-T) : DVB-T #0 I'm not sure if I am seeing one of the USB devices and both of its tuners or if I am only seeing one tuner in each of the USB devices... I tried using the recommended config for 4 tuners: --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/net0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/net0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/net0 But this would not load.... I shortened it to only two adaptors and it loaded: --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/net0 I also tried a couple of commands but it was more poke and hope.... root@PVR-PC:~# ls /dev/dvb adapter0/ adapter1/ root@PVR-PC:~# ls -la /dev/dvb total 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody users 80 Jan 29 20:18 ./ drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4280 Jan 29 20:18 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody users 120 Jan 29 20:18 adapter0/ drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody users 120 Jan 29 20:18 adapter1/ Hope you can shed some light on what I am doing wrong All the best Nigel
