I agree.  I'd rather not do that if the debian kernel (4.9 in stretch)
has the proper support.  Does it?  If not, is there a driver for the
Hauppauge tuners that could be added to the debian kernel?  The linux
support page at Hauppauge says that kernel 4.2 has built-in support for
the WinTV-HVR-955Q and the WinTV-HVR-2255.  Lsusb reports the tuner as
955D.  No QAM but is that the only difference? Is this also supported
by the built-in driver?  The 3.16 kernel in jessie doesn't seem to have
the proper drivers.  The myth (0.27) I have there doesn't see the tuner.
Maybe the thing to do is upgrade the jessie machine (Liva X) to stretch.
As that is a major undertaking (what could go wrong?) I'd like to be
sure it wouldn't be for nothing.

Doing that worked.  I now have entries for 

linux-headers-4.10.0-3020170809101           <none> 4.10.0-3020170

oss4-dev                                     <none> 4.2-build2010-

But given that (on the stretch machine) I'm running 4.9 already, this
seems like a downgrade.
