[mythtv-users] HVR-2250 Tuner Not Available

[Barry Martin]

I think I may have found an installation error but not sure how to
correct it.

I was told the HVR-2250 tuner was installed on the/at the  Frontend
which is why the Backend isn't able to use it (error is "tuner is not
available".   The HVR-1600 card is installed so the Backend can see and
use it.   When I'm in MCC I don't see the HVR-1600 card as being
installed ==> allows me to install.  When I did that the Frontend saw a
usable 1600 (so at Backend) and a not available 1600 (so at Frontend).
Both 1600's at adapter0/frontend0.    (Everyone confused?!)  For some
reason both halves of the HVR-2250 card are being installed at the
Frontend.  

Found something which sort of explains things.  Using "System Profiler
and Benchmark" (I installed it) under Kernel Modules I found a possible
explanation of why things are wrong:

    Name:    tda18271
    Description:    NXP TDA18271HD analog/digital tuner driver

Path:    /lib/modules/3.16.0-70-generic/kernel/drivers/media/tuners/tda18271.ko

    Name:    s5h1411
    Description:    Samsung S5H1411 QAM-B/ATSC Demodulator driver

Path:    /lib/modules/3.16.0-70-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/s5h1411.ko

My guess is for whatever reason the Samsung driver was installed to the
dvb-frontends sub-directory.  The 'ko' thing is not in the tuners
sub-dir.  Should be easy enough to copy the file from dvb-frontends to
tuners, but I have no idea how to update/correct the path.


The original installation used 
        wget
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/4019072/NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw
        sudo cp -p NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw /lib/firmware
No idea about what happened after that to place files.


TIA!   Barry
