How To Install Hauppauge TV-Tuner WinTV-HVR-1600 on Mandriva 09 ?

dolphans1 · 01-11-2009, 05:29 PM

I am trying to set-up TV-Time in Mandriva 2009.

I am using a PCI Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 TV tuner I am trying to get it set-up in Mandriva 2009 Linux.

Below is the actual tuner-

http://www.hauppauge.com/site/produc...a_hvr1600.html

I have a dual-boot system with WindowsXP and the Tuner works on Windows with its own version of software.

Can anyone give me some support as to how to configure on Linux....?

I tried calling Hauppauge tech support and good-luck, they have terrible support. I was put on que for 10 minutes only to hear a recording that if I wanted to leave a name and number someone would call me back or I could press # and extension to stay online.

Well no one ever answered or ever returned my call.

I installed TV-Time and when I open it I see a blue screen with time on it, but I get this message off to the side - No TV Card has been detected on your machine. Please verify that a Linux-supported Video/TV Card is correctly plugged in.

You can visit our hardware database at:

http://www.mandrivalinux.com/en/hardware.php3

I can see the Tuner inside MCC center, so Mandriva see's it, but somehow TV-Time does not or must be configured someway....

Anyone here have the knowledge to set-up TV-tuner....?

Thanks d-1

Try this http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-1600 and ivtvdriver.org is where all the drivers come from.

Looking at the link of that model, it looks like a Windows only model. But if you had got one that works with Windows & Mac, would it have been easier to use with Linux? I'm just curious if one labelled for Mac and Win would install better.

Thnx.

Yes. There are a couple different versions floating around.

I have it working on mythdora 10.21 (www.mythdora.com) which is based on Fedora Core 10. All I had to do was download the firmware and reboot.

bic, so you have a Win/Mac version? When I do get one I will be checking out Mythdora. Do you like it better than the MythTV or whatever the name is?

bic · 01-15-2009, 12:31 PM

This is the one I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815116007

Mythdora is a Linux Distribution based on Fedora Core 10. It has all the MythTV software and hardware drivers - video, remote, ir and plugins built in. A lot easier than wilsonet.com, which involved installing FC first then all the drivers etc..

There's also MythBuntu and Knoppmyth.

dolphans1 · 01-15-2009, 11:55 PM

I finally got through with Hauppauge tech support and the gentlemen there was very helpful in helping me out on the windows side (I have a dual boot system with Windows XP 64 bit). It works great with Windows XP 64 bit, I did have to download load their newer version of their cd.

As for Mandiva Linux install, I have spent 4 days compiling some drivers and I have had no luck yet.

Tech support agent said this model would work with Linux and that they have a tutorial on their site to install. But its not easy...

I am not giving up and will continue to try and figure it out....

dolphans1 · 01-15-2009, 11:58 PM

Yes this is the same one I have. I see that Mandriva also has mythtv, but I could not figure out how to configure....

What all have you done on here? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600

show output of dmesg|grep cx18

and ls -l /dev/video*

If everything is installed, you should be able to do a cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg for a few seconds, then hit control-c. Next view that mpg file with mplayer with like mplayer test.mpg

dolphans1 · 01-16-2009, 10:18 PM

Below is what I tried to run, a friend of mine feels Mandriva 2009 has a bug.

With MythTV that I have I see a blue screen where you pick language and user name and port and all, I am not even sure if its an actual TV tuner software because I have nothing to go by.
