Raspberry Pi 3 - Debian Jessie compiling TVHeadend from sources
foreword
I’ve switched from a Raspberry Pi 1 Model B to a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B because my DVB USB device recordings on RPI1 were clipped.
I hope this changes using the much stronger RPI3.
My DVB USB device: Sundtek MediaTV Pro III
let’s start
preparations
Just download and flash the Raspbian LITE image from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y vim wget
date
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
date
sudo raspi-config
sudo reboot
installing MediaTV Pro III (skip this if you use another tv device)
wget http://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_netinst.sh && \
chmod 777 sundtek_netinst.sh && sudo ./sundtek_netinst.sh
cat << EOL | sudo tee /etc/sundtek.conf
use_hwpidfilter=on
device_attach=systemctl restart tvheadend

building TVHeadend from sources
since the official wiki building page seems a bit outdated here are my notes
Install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev gettext dvb-apps cmake
git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
cd tvheadend
./configure && make && sudo make install
sudo adduser --system --ingroup video hts
add a new systemd service and add the contents from beneath
sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/tvheadend.service
/etc/systemd/system/tvheadend.service
[Unit]
Description=tvheadend

WantedBy=multi-user.target
after that we enable the service
sudo systemctl enable tvheadend

uninstall
as root
systemctl stop tvheadend && systemctl disable tvheadend;
rm /etc/systemd/system/tvheadend.service;
rm -rf /home/hts/; deluser hts;
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/tvheadend
rm -rf /usr/local/share/tvheadend
rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/tvheadend.1
