Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1110
Installation
Firmware
This only needs to be done once:
- download the firmware
- make it executable
- move it to /lib/firmware
- create a config file to tell the kernel driver which card it actually is
- restart the system
In other words, as root do:
wget http://perso.orange.fr/tomlohave/linux/dvb-fe-tda10046.fw chmod +x dvb-fe-tda10046.fw mv dvb-fe-tda10046.fw /lib/firmware/ echo 'options saa7134 card=104' >/etc/modprobe.d/saa7134 reboot
Now the card is properly recognized (sample from dmesg):

The devices are in place as well:

Now it can be configured with the MythTV setup option from the Computing screen in LinuxMCE.

And that's about as far as I got. Unfortunately I don't see any channels (they're all black) and having never received DVB-T before I'm not even sure if I can get a signal. Maybe I just need a better antenna but MythTV doesn't seem entirely stable either.

Both my hunches seem right, as it turns out the instability is MythTV not agreeing with the graphics chipset drivers of my mainboard. Starting TV on another Media Director informs me that:
You should have gotten a channel lock by now. You can continue to wait for a signal, or you can change the channels with Up and Down, change input's (C), capture cards (Y), etc.
(in large and friendly letters). Up and Down do indeed change the channels and I see the program information on what should be playing. So I guess the last hurdle is to get a signal and lock onto a channel...
Stay tuned... -- Zaerc 15:10, 6 August 2007 (MST)
