The Raspberry Pi TV-uHAT allows you to receive digital terrestrial TV broadcast systems which includes DVB-T and DVB-T2 on a Raspberry Pi. With the board you can 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 TV 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.
