Hauppauge HVR-900 HD

[Fredrik Lingvall]

Hi All,

I have a Hauppauge HVR-900 HD with ID 2040:b138. Is this device 
supported, and if so, which driver and firmware do I need?

Regards,

/Fredrik

Hi Frank,

It's not currently supported under Linux as it uses a demodulator that
there is currently no driver for.  As far as I know, nobody's working
on it.

Devin

Thanks for the info Devin. I had some hope since I found this page:

  http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,423395.5/wap2.html

The dmesg output at least shows much more than I have been able to get 
(I use 3.2.0-rc3 from the linuxtv git rep). They seem to be able to at 
least load firmware into the device. It's in Italian so I don't 
understand much of what they are discussing though.

On that page they seem to have the unit recognized and a configuration for the analog side of the unit.  They also mention a Silabs SI2165 DVB-T/-C demodulator which is obviously not supported.

They had a link to the code on the page:

http://misterox.altervista.org/cx231xx_drivers/newversion_cx231xx.tar.gz

I did a (quick) comparison with that code and the code that's in  
3.2.0-rc3. From what I could see it was not a quick fix to port it to 
3.2.0-rc3. I will look at it a bit more to see if I can get analog to 
work too (with 3.2.0-rc3).
