I have KM R5F27

I tried this:
http://lunapark6.com/usb-hdtv-tuner-sti ... .html?cp=1

following the edgy instructions (although R5 is debian sid). And I'm having problems.

First, when doing this:
apt-get install mercurial linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-source build-essential
which of the two linux-source do I get?

I got the first one.

Then when I get to make:

At top of the make process I got these warnings;
VIDEO_PLANB: Requires at least kernel 2.6.99
VIDEO_CAFE_CCIC: Requires at least kernel 2.6.19

Whatever... but mostly I get this error:

Anybody got this to go ok on RF27? What were the steps?

Thanks

Try 'make kernel-links' before make...

I'm thinking of getting the HVR-950 -- where you able to get this to work? ANy sense of how good / sensitive the tuner is? Also, any idea if r5.5 have out of the box support for this tuner? THanks!

Marc

Looks like the HVR-950 works with r5.5 if you follow the instructions linked to in the first post, in concert with Cecil's modification on the second post. Happy scanning!

Marc

Update on 9/27/08. Do not follow the instructions in this post. Instead, see thiswiki article for the correct method.

Marc

OK, I thought I'd summarize the procedure so that people don't need to sort through multiple links. As root:


Now reboot the system. When it comes back up,


Test to see if things work. If they do, then you need to ensure the the drive loads on every boot. I did this by adding the following line to the end of /etc/modules:


I've also put this into the wiki at http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=HVR950HowTo

Marc

Wikihas been updated with the latest instructions.

I've followed your excellent directions in setting up the HVR-950 from the wiki. When I follow them I can get video recording and sound working great. However, I can't seem to get my remote working. There's no device handle in the /dev/input directory that corresponds to a remote.

I've looked in my /var/log/messages file and the closest thing I've been able to find that addresses this problem is a line that reads:
mythtv kernel: tveeprom 0-0050: has no radio, has IR receiver, has no IR transmitter

Complicating matters, I apparently have one of the HRV-950s that has the "credit card" remotes (model number DSR-0112, photo here: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/press/pre ... remote.jpg ) instead of the silver/gray remote. I've found a thread (http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux- ... 26859.html) that tells how to patch the lirc file but I can't get to that part without having the OS detect the USB device.

Can anyone shed any light on what I'm doing wrong and what steps I can take to fix the problem. Also, if you need any more information from me to solve the problem, I'll gladly provide it.

Thanks!

My HVR-950 did not come with a remote -- sorry I can't help.
