USB dual Tuner

Hello, I had a REDI PC 100 USB tuner for 2 years and had no problems at all.

But this USB tuner stopped working. I think is dead. So I have to buy another USB tuner to see terrestrial channels.

I would like now to buy a USB dual tuner. What USB dual tuners are supported on latest black hole image?

Please suggest me a USB dual tuner to buy. Not very expensive please.

Thanks you.

Hi again, I just tested my crypto redi pc 250.

Worked but not very well.

Some times when I am zapping the tuner stop working. The only solution to work again is to reboot complete the Vu+ Duo.

Can you help me find a solution?

Any help? Please..

I've seen your dmesg but it's correct without errors.
I can only suppose there is some problems around your power supply for USB devices and your dual tuner device needs more power to work properly.
Try with a pwoered hub USB. I haven't a device with your specs but I've two devices with same hardware (single tuner). I can try with them if all works correctly for some time.

Do you see (understand) on these specific errors that I need to buy a USB hub with external power or not?

I you have in mind what could be the problem please tell me because I have no usb hub and I would like not to buy one for nothing.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi angelofsky1980.

I borrowed a USB hub powered by AC Adapter but the results is the same.
The USB tuner still failed after some zapping. No image until reboot.

I just wondered if you can make a script that can unload the modules, stop the usbtuner and start them all again. This way I can execute this script, so the wait time to start the tuner will be less that waiting to reboot the vu+ duo.

I am waiting for your support, thank you.
