Troubleshooting Issues with Elgato EyeTV One USB DVB-T Tuner on LibreElec

Are you struggling to get your Elgato EyeTV One USB DVB-T tuner working with Kodi on LibreElec? You're not alone. I recently made the switch from Windows 10 to LibreElec and encountered similar issues. After conducting thorough research, I've compiled a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot common problems.

Finding Useable Information

My initial search for solutions led me to the Ubuntu forum, where users discussed using the `fxload` command to load the driver. However, this command is not available in LibreElec's ssh command-line interface. Furthermore, there was no explanation on how to create the driver, leaving me with more questions than answers.

Identifying the Elgato Device

Using the `lsusb` command, I discovered that my Elgato EyeTV One USB DVB-T tuner is recognized as 'Elgato Device 002' on Bus 001. However, a scan of the system logs using `dmesg` did not reveal any information about the device.

Troubleshooting with TVHeadend

I then tried configuring TVHeadend to recognize my Elgato EyeTV One USB DVB-T tuner. Unfortunately, the device was not listed under TV adapters in the software's interface.

The Importance of Smartcards

In my country, most DVB-T TV channels are encrypted and require a smartcard to decrypt them. The Elgato EyeTV One USB DVB-T tuner is one of the few devices that comes with a slot for a Conax smartcard, making it an attractive option for those who need to access these channels.

While my new LibreElec machine works smoothly and quickly, I have yet to successfully configure Kodi TV with my Elgato EyeTV One USB DVB-T tuner. If you're experiencing similar issues,
