Hello there,

Owner of an HVR4000 and trying to make it work on recent Ubuntu/MythTV.
Hopefully will succeed to appy and compile the patch sooner or later.


@John @Gunni

Gunni is probably right about (free) open source developpers doing only
what they want to do. Of course, remember they are doing it for free.

Now from a more technical point of view, there may be very good reasons
for those people not to simply apply the patch. What if the fix breaks
something else? The code change that provoked the issue was certainly
written for very good reasons, is it wise to simply cancel it?


Anyway, I hope I will be able to report good news about my HVR4000 soon.

Bug description:
  This is a continuation of bug #436564. Please refer to that for relevant dmesg'.
  The capture card I have is the Hauppauge HVR-1300.
  The card is now correctly recognized as DVB-T but channel scan fails with message "Timed out, no signal" at each channel is scanned.
  The command scan <location> > channels.conf ends correcly and file channels.conf is feeded with all tunable channels.
  I tried to import such channels.conf with the same result.
  Increasing the signal and channel timeout in the DVB settings (now up to 1000 but I planned to increase to ignore) doesnt solve the problem.
  Tonight I will try what Marc suggested - mythtv-setup --verbose channelscan,siparser,channel,record - then I will report the log.
