Not sure what you are getting at, as when I setup a DVR in Plex, I get
Plex to tune the channels for me and it finds all the Freeview HD channels perfectly.
no, you get Plex to ask HDHomerun to do the tuning to a specific channel. HD Homerun is handling the complexity within its software… software… running on a low power CPU.
@170bgrd I have not stated any such claim that Hauppauge have anything to do with DVB-T2, but what I have stated is that all the USB tuners you find contain either components from Hauppauge or have licensed components from Hauppauge and therefore all drivers for these USB devices are licensed and controlled by Hauppauge. The conclusion is that Hauppauge have total control over who has access to certain features of the USB device (that should be in plain English for you to understand, if not then that’s a @170bgrd problem and not mine).
As I stated if you had opened one of the HDHomeRun units up it’s not difficult to identify the components and the lack of CPU. For a start HDHomeRun does not have a supply contract with ARM 
no, you get Plex to ask HDHomerun to do the tuning to a specific channel. HD Homerun is handling the complexity
Exactly, due to the fact it contains the licensed hardware and software. That even proves you had no idea or understanding as you’ve now contradicted what you had said in the first place
Fact is, and I can prove it as I tried it, USB and PCI tuners plugged into the PMS fail to tune Freeview HD channels due to a bug in Plex. Other software works fine. Nothing to do with licensing, these are open APIs that all software can use.
@e10kstarfire You haven’t proved anything apart from it does not work with USB, which all of us can agree that’s the case. The API’s to the USB drivers are not open source.
There are about 5 significant components inside my TV Tuners. None of them are Hauppauge branded or controlled. Hauppauge use off the shelf components.

ARM dont make anything. They license their hardware designs to other companies who make the chips… companies like Apple, Samsung, Mediatek, and many others; several thousand of them. Every mobile phone uses ARM chips, and none of them have ARM written on them. At the other end of the scale, pretty much every consumer 56k modem and broadband router has an ARM chip in them - none ARM branded.
You wont find any chip with an ARM logo on it anymore - the last were in the mid-nineties.
I can lead you to water… but it’s up to you after that…
@170bgrd Because wikipedia is the bible lol. I bet you can’t even tell me where ARM came from without doing an internet search? lol
It does not work with USB or PCI - are you calling me a liar?
I have tried both - have you?
Read about Linux DVB API…
@e10kstarfire are you posting on two accounts as both of you are making exactly the same mistakes and typos lol. Maybe time for you to re-read what I said.
yes; thanks I really can. me providing references is not due to a lack of knowledge, it is because I am backing up my knowledge… something you have failed to do.
I lived in the UK while it was being created. I know a lot about its history - obviously understand how this stuff works - and don’t think you are doing yourself any favours.
@170bgrd So you were there when the government gave them the contract to create a home micro then in 1978?
No, The BBC gave a company called Acorn a contract to make a home computer for a tv series and wanted to have a standard computer to make the series work. This was 1981-ish… depending on the version of the story, this was either based on a dual processor computer that Steve Furber had been working on, where one CPU controlled IO and the other ran the programs or was based or a protoype computer called the Proton, which in itself may have been inspired by Steve Furbers computer. This computer was based on the 6502 with a number of custom chips…
The BBC micro only had one CPU; but had the option to have a second processor added.
Later, after a number of other models built on the same 6502, and second processors based on everything from 65c102, z80, 80186 and motorola chips they started to look at the next gen… and this is where the processor that was called the Acorn Risc Machine came from… a chip more powerful than an 80286 and sipped power. ARM was spun out when Apple, VLSI, Acorn entered into a joint partnership to develop the chip independantly. Apple used the chip in the Newton.
Now, off you go and have fun. I have a USB tuner connected to my Plex Media Server on which I am watching TV - something you say doesnt work because Hauppauge wont allow it.
@170bgrd Acorn is the company that became ARM when it was renamed and just to let you know how bad you are making your self look, I’m one of the founders of the The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park.
Don’t forget there was the Acorn Electron, BBC Model A, BBC Model B, BBC Master 128 and BBC Compact to name but a few before the Acorn Archimedes came about.
If you are one of founders then you have made a fool of yourself. ARM was demerged, Acorn became a company called Element14 - that still exists. Sophie Wilson still works for Element14/Broadcom. Broadcom bought Element14 who had moved into telecoms equipment - Sophie’s work was still based on ARM chips.
@170bgrd Sorry to correct you yet again, but Element14 came about due to the selling of assets from Acorn before the rename to ARM, of course I’m sure you are aware the Element14 supply components used in DSL communications.
ARM existed (1990) before Acorn went bankrupt through olivetti mis-management. Acorn’s holding in ARM was worth more than Acorn.
You are incorrect on this subject… and the real subject here… Plex can use DVB-T tuners over USB. There are no licensing issues, it’s a small extension to support DVB-t2, and plenty of tools are around to do that. Plex just aren’t bothering to develop it unfortunately.
@170bgrd It’s funny that I’ve had wikipeida up since you mentioned it and you’ve tried your best to copy some of it, but failed to notice that it has a lot of errors. Olivetti had no financial ties with Acorn, nor did it have any management ties.
Now you are failing at both topics you want to quickly move on lol.
two links that you are also wrong about Acorn’s history, just like Hauppauge and tuner cards… troll.

if you were a founder of the british computer museum, why do you have wikipedia open?
@170bgrd That deal did not go through in the end, though of course you can read all of this on ARM’s website if you wish. I mean better to get information from Primary sources right? lol.
I was there. I had acorn computers and Olivetti PCs. Such a troll.
@170bgrd So you had econet back in the day then?
Note: If you were there, then you would not need to look everything up on wikipedia, plus you would have know the models of Acorn computers.
