Hauppauge 2250 on Ubuntu 15.04

[Jeff Allen]

I am trying to get the firmware to load on a fresh install of Ubuntu 
15.04 desktop 64-bit on a new system.

I have tried for a few hours now.  Many combinations / suggestions from 
the documentation, forum posts, etc.  The most recent attempts were made 
with another fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04 and following the 
instructions at the following link: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2250

Here is what I did on my last attempt after the fresh install.

Re: Hauppauge 2250 on Ubuntu 15.04

[Olli Salonen]

Hi Jeff,

Based on the PCI subsystem ID I think your card is actually HVR-2255
and not the older HVR-2250. Check what it says on the card. Some
people have reported buying a HVR-2250, but receiving actually a
HVR-2255.

Anyway, HVR-2255 is supported by the media_tree these days, but you
need to build the driver yourself before kernel 4.2 is out. Follow the
steps here to do that:
http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_build.git/about/

Cheers,
-olli

RE: Hauppauge 2250 on Ubuntu 15.04

[Jake Hawkins]

We've had a dozen or two of these cards through our lab and the labels on the card aren't 100% reliable; we've seen both HVR-2250 labelled as HVR-2255 and vice versa.

Hi Jeff,

Based on the PCI subsystem ID I think your card is actually HVR-2255 and not the older HVR-2250. Check what it says on the card. Some people have reported buying a HVR-2250, but receiving actually a HVR-2255.

Anyway, HVR-2255 is supported by the media_tree these days, but you need to build the driver yourself before kernel 4.2 is out. Follow the steps here to do that:

Cheers,

That's not going to work. You need to pull tip, compile and install it
for HVR2255 support.

No amount of specifying card=X on the module load fixes these kinds of issues.

Cc'ing linux-media back in.

I'm not aware of any US cable provider that the HVR2255 cannot
tune/demodulate. I'd be highly surprised if your HVR2255 isn't
delivering packets, unless its faulty.

However, depending on your provider, those multiplexes may only
contain encrypted tv channels - not watchable by you. I have a handful
of channels from my provider that are watchable. 300+ are fully
encrypted.... the data delivered by the card isn't that useful, for
encrypted channels.

I suggest you share the output from your scan tests with the mailing
list and see if anyone can help.
