2017 Shield - TV Tuner Help

by TheBdude

Hey Reddit, I purchased a [Hauppauge TV Tuner from Amazon,]( http://www.HAUPPAUGE.com/ WinTV-DualHD Dual USB 2.0 HD TV Tuner for Windows PC 1595 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015IL0FIW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ysDqzbT91SJCV ) but when I plug it into the back of my 2017 16GB Shield TV nothing is recognized. The Live Channels app doesn't automatically appear, and even when I install an app to make it appear, the tuner is not recognized as a source. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

The dual tuner is not supported by the Live Channels app, just Plex so far. Live Channels only supports single tuners.

you may be able to launch the tuner setup activity from live channels via Activity Launcher (app ex: de.szalkowski.activitylauncher).

i don't have a shield so can't verify.

you could also install another live channels app (like pluto.tv) to trigger it's appearance.

The only ones officially supported by Live Channels are these:

  • Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q
  • Hauppauge Digital TV Tuner for Xbox One
  • AVerMedia AVerTV Volar Hybrid Q (H837)

I can confirm that the Xbox One tuner works perfectly with the Live Channels App with the 5.1 update, have not tried it with the Plex stuff as I tend to prefer Kodi

What led you to believe that device is supported by Linux in general, Android in particular? This list doesn't include the 1595 model you linked to. Am I missing something? https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge
