Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1110

This took me a few hours to figure out:

1. download the firmware
2. make it executable
3. move it to /lib/firmware
4. create a config file to tell the driver which card it actually is
5. reboot

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/

cat >/etc/modprobe.d/saa7134 <<EOF
alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   saa7134
options saa7134         card=104
EOF

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 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.
