Tvheadend can't find tuner card

Added by Bill Sherwood almost 12 years ago

Hi I'm very new to all this and whenever anything doesn't work I'm way over my head.
I've built a new HTPC box and am having a lot of trouble getting the tuner card to work. I'm using OpenELEC 2.99.1 (3.0 RC 1) Generic.
It's a Hauppauge HVR-2210 and it seems to be detected okay - using Putty I get this -

But when I access tvheadend through my browser it just will not show the tuner card.
Everything else seems to work okay but I really need the tuner card to work, any ideas please??

A bit more information, this guy reckons with a bit of fiddling it should work -

Take your [url=http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCIe_Cards]pick[/url].

Your tuner card seems like it should work. Get it [url=http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2200]working[/url] under Linux and you're golden.

If that's right, how do I do that please?

It appears that the link to your device is [[http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2200]]

There is a section on the link that says "Making it Work".

Hopefully that will get you started :)

Are they the same basic card?
On that page where it says "Making it Work"
Then ...
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/22xxdrv_27086.zip
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/extract.sh

sh extract.sh
cp *fw /lib/firmware
  1. for some linux distros, might need the following line instead of the above
    cp *fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`

Unfortunately I have no idea how to do any of that.
