Sundtek Support Forum

I just got the Raspberry Pi 2 and i'm really impressed by this little thing.
I already have the Raspberry Pi 1 (not b+) and this is a major upgrade!

I'm running openelec + tvheadend. Tvheadend server can be installed under Unofficial RPI 2 repository available in the addons list.

However, when i Switch channels, it's really slow (around 10 seconds, i'm used to around 1-1.5 seconds). Now i don't have the mpeg2 codecs installed and that might be the issue (i haven't recieved the codes yet).

Yesterday i installed raspbian on the RPI 1 and the tvheadend server and streamed channels to another HTPC via WLAN and the channel switching was just as fast as before. Faster than any Enigma 2 settop box!

I tried playing around some settings but nothing has helped.

Any clues?

I created this thread for future RPI 2 questions for everyone!

Edit: forgot to mention that the HTPC I've been running with fast channel changing was not any of my raspberry Pi's
Maybe it is supposed to switch this slow with a RPI.  But when the RPI runs as a tvheadend server but I view the channel on another client, the channel switching is fast on the client side.

Hi

Can anyone help me figure out why my Sundtek USB stick keeps dropping from the Openelec system. After a while, the picture freezes and then Tvheadend reports there is no hardware to receive channels, that is the sundtek somehow freezes and needs a reboot. I shutdown the HTPC and remove the USB Stick from USB stick including the DVB-C cable and then it works.
Only rebooting doesn't help.

I have reinstalled Openelec more than 3 times trying newer versions but it's not helping. I've had this problem for more than a year. The freezing happens often. I'm trying KODI now.
