Hi there,
i am stuck troubleshooting an issue with a small server, based on older hardware which i recently setup for my father-in-law.
I had a Hauppauge Starburst2 (which is CX23885 based) laying around, and i though that one might be super to setup a tvheadend installation on an old Intel i3-2130 (z77 based board).
I am using dietpi 8.14.2 on na native PC (x86_64). I installed tvheadend from the snap store, but its unable to find tuners. I dont succeed in troubleshooting this, so thats why i am posting - hoping to get some help from you guys.
There is a (german) article in another forum which states that, what i am trying to archive is basically possible but requires some tuning.
This article is referencing to a support article from hauppauge which can be found here:
https://www-hauppauge-de.translate.goog/site/support/support_linux.html?n=FAQ.Linux&_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp#tv_tuner
I completed the installation steps mentioned in that article.
But i am still unable to find tuners with tvheadend.
Here is the information i got so far:
dmesg says:

I am able to see the device using lspci:

As far as i get it, all the neccessary kernel modules are already loaded:
(from my config-5.10.0.21-amd64):
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX23885=m
CONFIG_MEDIA_ATTACH=y
(for example - as far as i can see all the required modules are loaded by default - because i never changed/touched this)
Any help / suggestions are appreciated…
