Hauppage 950Q - Signal Strength 0%, works fine in windows

Added by Dan Rodak over 11 years ago

I am trying to set up the apparently difficult Raspberry Pi Over-the-Air DVR.

I purchased a Hauppage 950Q (listed as compatible at the site listed at wlinux.org) to use for this purpose and a powered usb hub.

I tested the 950Q on my windows 7 pc in Windows media Center and it worked beautifully. I brought in 40 different strong local OTA channels (Ann Arbor, MI, USA) so I know signal strength is excellent.

so I moved onto the pi. I have the 950Q plugged into the powered usb hub that is plugged into the RasPi.
When I fire up tvheadend (which was a trick for me, a linux noob) I did the "Add DVB Netowrk by location" got 136 muxes. I have 0 "Muxes Awaiting Initial Scan" but "Map DVB services to channels" is still greyed out. When I saw this I also noticed that in the "Information and capabilities I have "Signal Strength: 0%". I assume this is my problem. The question is how do i fix it?

no, haven't really gotten anywhere with this yet. I don't have much time on the weeknights so i probably wont get another go at this until the weekend. but as is the closest I've found is someone simply did a full wipe then reinstall and it worked afterwards but they didn't know why. so I will probably try that. hopefully someone with more insight will hop on here with help
