Hello!

It works for me in Ubuntu 10.10 kernel 2.6.35-28 generic with a Hauppage
HVR4000:

1. Downloading v4l source of comment #150

     hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

2. Edit the file:   v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.c

    And commenting out the five lines:

     case CX88_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_HVR4000:
		/* Toggle reset on cx22702 leaving i2c active */
		cx_set(MO_GP0_IO, 0x00000080);
		//udelay(1000);
		//cx_clear(MO_GP0_IO, 0x00000080);
		//udelay(50);
		//cx_set(MO_GP0_IO, 0x00000080);
		//udelay(1000);

3. As comment #150 says, it was necessary to remove FireDTV modules. 
    Before, I ned to install libncurses & libncurses5 (I used synaptics to do it). Then, I entered menuconfig:

         make menuconfig

        and unmarking with (N) the module "FireDTV and FloppyDTV"
        you can find it under  Multimedia Support --> DVB/ATSC adapters

4. Compiling and installing the driver:

    make

    sudo make install


It works fine in MythTV but I have some problems in Mythbox pluggin under XBMC. I can watch the first channel selected, but if I select a second channel, XBMC hangs. I don't know if the error is related to this driver.


I tried to do the same in Mythbuntu 11.04 kernel 2.6.38-8, but I obtained a lot of errors related to IOCTL when tried to compile.

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.
