The first thing to do is configure the DVB multiplexes for your local transmitter.
#Elgato eyetv 3.6.5 zip file#
Installation of the addon zip file is pretty straightforward, and once it’s running the addon is configured by browsing to a web console rpi_ip:9981 This is available as an addon for OpenELEC, which can be created thus: PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm PVR=yes. The app to tune into and record TV is TVHeadEnd.
#Elgato eyetv 3.6.5 driver#

#Elgato eyetv 3.6.5 drivers#
And confirmed that the appropriate drivers had been loaded: I installed the PVR binaries into one of my regular OpenELEC images. Software installationįirst I needed to build OpenELEC with the PVR option: PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm PVR=yes make release DVB needs a good strong signal, and I have mine plugged into an output of a house distribution TV signal amplifier. The tuner comes with a little antenna, but frankly I can’t see that working unless you’re pretty much stood next to the transmitter. A powered USB hub might improve matters (or might cause its own issues) – I haven’t tried that option yet. It needs a decent power supply (I’ve been using some 1A rated ones from Amazon ), and so far I’ve avoided using other USB devices (even keyboards or mice). I’ve found that the power draw on my USB tuner is right at the edge of what the Raspberry Pi can support. I bought a cheap USB DVB Tuner from the same eBay supplier, but it turned out that I got a v1 device, meaning that I didn’t have to jump through the same hoops as Tiago to get v2 driver/firmware support. Inspired by a post by Tiago Pires on using the Raspberry Pi with OpenELEC as a PVR I thought I’d give it a go myself.

You can download an SD card image, unzip it and copy it onto an SD card using Win32DiskImager (on Windows) or dd (on Mac or Linux) and get going on your own Raspberry Pi in minutes.
Everything has now been folded into the official OpenELEC build, which at the time of writing is at 3.0 RC2. This post is now a historical record of the hoops that I once had to jump through to get my Raspberry Pi working as a PVR.
