For a time I tried various linux 'add remove program' strategies to install the software you sent. Nothing worked, but after a while I saw a folder labeled Hauppauge1950.Linux on my Desktop as well as the card board box the tarball came in. So then I went to a terminal and got myself root privileges. After running cd Desktop I typed in: zypper install Hauppauge1950.Linux The output looked like: "Retrieving repository 'KDE:KDE3' metadata [done] .... Loading repository data ... Reading installed packages ... Hauppauge1950.Linux not found ... Resolving package dependencies Nothing to do ... Mike- As you suggested, I ran the following command: "perl -v".

I then backed out of the terminal and went to MythTV through "Applications" -> "Multimedia". Like it always does, the Myth TV set up program told me- unpnpNotFound (universal plug and play device not found). Ideas? Suggestions?

As root, run the following where you saved the tar.bz2: 1. tar jxf Ha*bz2 2. mv Ha*re/* /lib/firmware Then unload/reload the kernel modules and/or reboot and then show us your output from dmesg. Try to get the device to work with mplayer first before trying to get MythTV to work. Justin. ------------------------------ Message 3 Tuesday 17 November 2009 6:30 PM EST Justin / Mike / Ben /- I followed your instructions to the letter, to wit: As root, run the following where you saved the tar.bz2: 1. tar jxf Ha*bz2 2. mv Ha*re/* /lib/firmware Then I typed in: modprobe pvrusb2 Once out of the terminal I tried but could not find mplayer in my applications. So I went up on the web and typed mplayer in the search engine SuSE 11.1 provides. What came up was Kmplayer. I one click installed Kmplayer and Kmplayer de-bug source. For some strange reason after a re-boot I could not find Kmplayer in my applications. I entered the word in the applications search box but came up dry. I fooled around with MythTV in my applications folder but still got the messages: "Universal Plug and Play Device not Found", and, "Cannot log in to database?" Running dmesg after a zypper up and a reboot produced: New USB device found ... usb 5-5 Product Win TV Maunfacturer Hauppauge... has radio, has IR reciever, has IR transmitter... pvrusb2: Device initialization completed sucessfully.... firmware requesting v4l - cx 25840.fw .... cx 25840' 0-0044 loaded v4l-cx 25840 fw firmware (16382 bytes) ... cx 25840' 0-0044 tda829x 0-0042 setting tuner address to 60 ... pvrusb2 registered device video 1 [mpeg] Before I did the zypper up and the re-boot dmesg read as above but with the additional comments: "0x0000 is not a valid video input!" and "video signal present" Please let me know at your earliest convenience what steps I need to take to get MythTV running! This is getting interesting!
