Yes the network card is connected via the USB 2.0 bus which is probably a bottleneck.
DVBViewer is an app that connects directly to the Sat IP and I can run two high bandwidth HD channels simultaneously without a glitch, both connected to the same 100 Mbit/s wifi extender on fairly old PCs.
So it's not network or Kodi or my client pc's. Either one of two things is happening, the RPi 3 is just not up to the job or the integration between Tvheadend and Telestar Digibit Twin is not quite right. Probably the former.
The version of Tvheadend I have is HTS Tvheadend 4.2.8-34~g24a2f59e9
and the OS on the RPi is Raspbian Linux 10.
I am just going to break out and buy a new RPi 5 8GB RAM. I'm sticking with the Pi architecture as I have a DTT HAT that works on it.
Thanks for responses. I'll update here when I get it and have it installed.
