I have setup TVheadend under FreeBSD and can watch TV programs on an Android tablet using Kodi. Sometimes I get quite a lot of buffering but I'm amazed it works at all.
I'm trying to figure out how I could improve performance, but have no idea where any bottleneck would lie.
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE is running on a Lenovo Ideacentre Q180, which has 4GB of memory and a 500GB hard disk. TVheadend receives TV signals via a USB DVB-T2 TV dongle (Afatech AF9033 (DVB-T)). The box is connected to a wifi/router via a LAN cable although it is only currently operating at 100Mbps since I can't find a FreeBSD driver for the 1Gb Realtek NIC. The tablet is a Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 running Android 5.0.1 and Kodi v17.6 Krypton. It is connected via wifi to the router.
Where should I look to improve performance?
My initial thought was that the LAN connection might be the bottleneck, but even at 100Mbps it's still probably faster than the wifi link
As far as TV dongles go, is there much difference between them?
