Re: [LUG] trying to get Zolid Mini DVB-T Stick work with linux mint 17.2

 

There are some T2 sticks available out there that work well with mythtv i run a pctv nanostick T2 that gives me all the HD channels through mythtv. Mythbuntu makes it easy to set up although it is a pain to configure it. Plus, i had to write my own channel.sql list to update channels and give the correct channel names and numbers rather then use the long winded way of manually inputting them all.
