[mythtv-users] Big problem with TV card

Wed Nov 25 17:41:45 UTC 2009

Hi!

I REALLY need some help with the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000
(http://www.hauppauge.it/site/products/data_hvr4000.html).

Days ago I installed Mythbuntu 9.10 (64 bit) on my HTPC, but I soon
found out the tv card didn't work.
Later, I learned that both firmware and driver included in Karmic were
bugged and didn't work.
So I followed the instructions reported at
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000 to
install firmware 1.20.79.0 and instructions reported at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/439163?comments=all to install
the patched driver (from: http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-20091103/).

The end result? Nothing!

Unfortunately, my HVR-4000 still doesn't work!

Following, the kernel output I get:

As you can see, it reports a problem but I don't know how to fix it.

Also, I strangely have no /dev/dvb/adapter0 in my system.

PLEASE HELP!

Many thanks,

Alan
