The Raspberry Pi TV HAT is an official add-on board designed to enable digital television reception directly on your Raspberry Pi. Equipped with an onboard DVB-T2 tuner, it allows users to receive, decode, and stream digital TV broadcasts over a network, transforming your Raspberry Pi into a fully functional TV server.
Using compatible software such as TVHeadend, the TV HAT can decode digital TV multiplexes (muxes), allowing access to multiple channels within a single stream. The content can be viewed locally on the Raspberry Pi or streamed to other devices connected to the same network, including computers, media players, and mobile devices.
The TV HAT connects easily via the GPIO header and includes all necessary mounting hardware such as spacers, screws, and an aerial adapter for seamless installation. It supports streaming to applications like Kodi, VLC, and other compatible clients, offering flexible viewing options across multiple platforms.
This solution is ideal for home media systems, network TV streaming, educational projects, and embedded applications where digital broadcast reception is required.
