Perhaps it needs more firmware files.
You can try downloading http://dvbsky.net/do...ux/firmware.zip, and install the fw files in /lib/firmware, and after that restart the box.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

The Xtrend ET8500 like ET7000 were from MaraM9/Odin so maybe there is no Vtuner support in the drivers.
Check first howmany vtuner should been possible by telnet/putty command:
ls -a /dev/misc

Quite possible.
Also, the OE-A recipe recommends installing:
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-dvbsky opkg install kernel-module-si2168 opkg install kernel-module-si2157 opkg install firmware-dvb-fe-si2168
so maybe one is missing?
I also read that maybe our firmware package isn't up to date, which could be addressed by my previous post.

Hi Guys
I've downloaded & installed all FW files, I've ran the commands on
opkg install kernel-module-dvb-usb-dvbsky,
opkg install kernel-module-si2168,
opkg install kernel-module-si2157,
opkg install firmware-dvb-fe-si2168
Rebooted, but still don't see the USB Tuner.
Below is the response from ls -a /dev/misc
root@et8500:~# ls -a /dev/misc
. .. vtuner0 vtuner1 vtuner2 vtuner3
root@et8500:~#

The box it say it can handle 4 vTuners..
From your log I see nothing else going wrong.
The USB device should in the next step been assign to vTuner0~3 and you should see the device in your list.
This part is probably done by the drivers. Hope the linux kernel of vuduo is new enough to recognize the device.

Nope.
I checked the feeds, neither the VU Duo nor the Duo2 has support for this device.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
