New question #106502 on Mythbuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+question/106502
I have a Hauppauge hvr-2200. I've managed to make it work by: (1) putting it in the machine and then reading dmesg, which said that it couldn't load the firmware (someone else's output follows): [ 5.065271] saa7164[0]: Your board isn't known (yet) to the driver. [ 5.065272] saa7164[0]: Try to pick one of the existing card configs via [ 5.065273] saa7164[0]: card=<n> insmod option. Updating to the latest [ 5.065273] saa7164[0]: version might help as well. [ 5.065276] saa7164[0]: Here are valid choices for the card=<n> insmod option: [ 5.065278] saa7164[0]: card=0 -> Unknown [ 5.065280] saa7164[0]: card=1 -> Generic Rev2 [ 5.065281] saa7164[0]: card=2 -> Generic Rev3 [ 5.065283] saa7164[0]: card=3 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 [ 5.065285] saa7164[0]: card=4 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [ 5.065286] saa7164[0]: card=5 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [ 5.065288] saa7164[0]: card=6 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [ 5.065290] saa7164[0]: card=7 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 [ 5.065291] saa7164[0]: card=8 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 (2) I then followed these instructions http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/community/showthread.php/38864-Hauppauge-HVR-2200-Tuner-Install-Guide?p=286124&viewfull=1 to do a modprobe card=4 and add it to the options file so that it stays after reboot. (3) this didn't work and gave an error about not finding the firmware to upload, so I had to extract the firmware with the instructions here http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7344302 I understand why my card is not yet supported, but I don't understand why the firmware is not included. Is it a licensing issue? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is an answer contact for Mythbuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
