    DVB-T USB Tuner

    Bought an R802T2 tuner RTL2832U RTL-SDR USB stick .

    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/192181532460?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Downloaded USB Turbo Tuner driver but box does not seem to pick up the third tuner within Tuner Configuration
    Any Ideas?

    Thanks

    Not sure why you'd add the turbo tuner driver - if I was using one of those, I'd start with the realtek driver
    dvb-usb-rtl28xxu which you should be able to find in the plugins/drivers section as your stick uses that chipset.

    Doesn't your TV have freeview? Don't really understand stand why you would want a freeview tuner for your sat box surely a cable tuner would be a better option?

    Totally agree e2 would be better but surely all channels are available on freesat so why the need for dvb-t unless down to not being able to get a sat signal?

    For E2 features.
    Timeshift, recording, timers, auto timers, epg, alternatives...
    + I presume the OP is in Ireland, so using Saorview, not available on free sat.

    Dave, London Live and some others are not on FTA on satellite. They are on Terrestrial.
    Bitrate on FTA HD channels Terrestrial is a lot better than satellite.
