T4 with USB Tuner?

[stevebow]

Will a T4 work with a USB Tuner as a 5th tuner? I have a NooElec R820T/RTL2832 based tuner plugged in, just to play around with really. Looking at the serial log during boot, it appears to be recognized and configured fine during boot (I presume the first 4 "DVB-T/T2 NIM" devices are the internal tuners?):

Code: Select all

But I don't see the USB tuner listed in Setup->Tuners->Tuner configuration, nor in Information->Devices, where only the 4 internal tuners are listed.

opkg list-installed shows a "enigma2-plugin-drivers-dvb-usb-rtl2832 - 1.0-r3.2" installed, so it all looks good so far. But are 4 tuners the limit for the T4? Or have I missed something somewhere perhaps?

No.

... are 4 tuners the limit for the T4?

Yes.

The underlying limit is the number of demuxes in the hardware (IIRC). If you search around a bit you can probably find a post from peteru that's definitive.

Ah, ok, thanks.
