I don't know how much PCTV 290e tuner costs
but
isn't it better to use the built-in Tuner
i have in my Ultimo 4k VU+ Tuner DVB-T2/T/C I bought it new for 50 euros ebay
and here ....new asat.nl/vuplusdvb-c, and ....ziezotec.nl/vu-advanced-pluggable-pnp-tuner-dvb-c-t.html 49 euro

On the other hand we have the original VU + USB tuner
VU + ® Turbo USB DVB-C / T2 Hybrid Tuner and it is + - 60 euros.

Remember that, if you’re looking for a DVB/T2 device because in your country are going to change the broadcasting system, your Ultimo (as well as any other mips decoder) won’t be able to get those channels if they will be adopting the HEVC encoding, regardless of the DVB/T2 tuner.
In our country they will begin the change late this year.
But maybe your is not.;)

Hi All Masters, I have just bought a Hauppauge Dual Dvb-T2 tuner and have installed the tuner driver to my Duo2 in OpenBlackhole v5.1 image. I look everywhere and still unable to see the tuner. Please help. Thank you
