You should try using CoreElec or Liberelec which provides built-in support for the tuner of Mecool KIII Pro TV Box. Also using kodi plugin install TVHeadend . Better Visit LinuxSat forum for better support. I have tried few years back and was working well on Mecool KIII Pro. Now its just a box in my collection not used. Android TV and Android Boxes have taken over all the entertainment. Youtube is killing every ones time. Gone are the old days of hobby experimentation tracking satellites etc.

Hello all, did any body able to login to Cinnamon version (screen shot below from here ) ? The box is A95X F3 Air first edition. For me it Bootes well and after root and user passwords are set it shows up desktop login screen and then after user login the desktop simply goes blank. On reboot again user login screen appears on the desktop but again blank screen after login. On the other hand the Armbian 24.8.0-trunk.399 Bookworm Gnome worked fine. I don't want any troubleshooting or run through logs and spend time on this but if any body faced such issue before just reply back if this happened with your box as well.

Some time TV/monitor may not be able to adjust for the box output Signal resolution try adding below at the end of the extlinux.conf in the line which starts with APPEND root witout quotes. "video=1280x720" or "video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720M@60D" example APPEND root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 video=1280x720

<In your experiments with did you use the reset toothpick method to boot from the sd/usb?> Yes, toothpick method is used. In F3Air box it is inside av port at backside, some other box like K3pro have hole at the bottom.

Looks like You should try few more DTB files. I have posted thread here in same Section, but it requires some additional work like creating FAT partition manually and renaming the files. was able to run on S905 X3 by using image from Odroid HC4 desktop build.
