Description:

This Raspberry Pi TV-uHAT is designed to receive digital terrestrial TV broadcast systems, including DVB-T and DVB-T2. With this board it is possible to receive and view TV on a Raspberry Pi, or create a TV server that allows you to stream received TV over a network to other devices. The uHAT can be used on all Raspberry Pi boards when running as a backend server for other devices on the network.

Performance when receiving and viewing TV on a Pi can vary and it is recommended to use a Raspberry Pi 3 B or B+ to do this. Raspberry Pi TV uHAT follows a new form factor of HAT which is detailed in the product brief. The board comes with a set of mechanical spacers, a 40 way header and an aerial adaptor.

Software
