Digital satellite TV and radio for your PC. Watch free-to-air satellite TV, in a window or full screen on your PC!
- Record digital satellite TV to your PC's hard disk in original MPEG-2 quality. Digital TV recordings will typically take 1,5 Gigabytes of disk space per hour.
- Pause digital satellite TV with instant replay.
- Listen to digital satellite DVB-S/DVB-S2 radio.
- DiSEqC 1.0 support.
- Includes Hauppauge new IR remote control, for easy control of TV watching, record and play functions.
Driver Information
This card uses the same DVB-S and DVB-S2 hardware as the HVR-4000. Therefore, this wiki also applies to getting the DVB-S element of the HVR-4000 card working in LinuxMCE 0710.
The DVB-S element on the NOVA-HD-S2 has run successfully on LMCE 0710 using VDR.
Unfortunately, the current version of VDR does not support HD / DVB-S2 (as of LinuxMCE 0710). The driver listed here only gets the DVB-S element running. In later versions of LinuxMCE this will become obsolete, particularly when later versions of VDR are used. The experimental VDR 1.7.X will only work using Multiproto drivers, but these will support the DVB-S2 element of this card.
See Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000 for further information on driver status, and how to compile the multiproto driver.
Installing The Drivers and Firmware
Download the patched v4l-dvb driver
Change into the downloaded directory, and open up a console. Type:
make sudo make install
Now fetch the firmware:
wget ftp://167.206.143.11/outgoing/Oxford/88x_2_119_25023_WHQL.zip
unzip:
unzip -jo 88x_2_119_25023_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys
and put it in place:
dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw skip=81768 bs=1 count=32522
now reboot, and check that the card has loaded
dmesg | grep cx88
you should get an output stating "hvr-4000-lite / Nova-HD-S2" somewhere.
Scan for Channels
See LiuxMCE VDR wiki entry.
Instead of the scan command used in the VDR wiki I used:
scan -o vdr .kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E > channels.conf
Where my satellite is Astra-28.2E (the BSkyB (Sky-tv-uk) satellite)
To scan free-to-air channels only add an "-x 0" in the command. e.g.
scan -x 0 -o vdr .kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E > channels.conf
Add the created channels.conf to VDR in the LinuxMCE admin / advanced / configuration / VDR setup as per the VDR wiki
