Wooooooh!

Finally got to scan something today in MythTV with my Hauppauge HVR4000.
On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

It was stunning to finally see it work as expected. Like, after so many
failed attempts I was so sure it would never work.

What I did:
- follow instructions of comment #50
- but with repository given in comment #128
- (of course) the removal of kernels must be adjusted to the actual kernel version used
- some commands failed but succeeded when used with sudo
- both 'make' and 'make install' ended at first in a Segmentation Fault, but completed when retried after a reboot (why???)
- also I installed the sources of the kernel

I am a little bit concerned with the segmentation fault: is it normal or
does it suggest a problem with my box? Maybe overheating, or maybe bad
software? Should I avoid upgrading the kernel?

What do you think?

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.
