Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2
DVB-S/S2 PCI card. Similar to the HVR-4000 but without DVB-T or analogue TV features.
Product page: http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_novahds2.html .
The card is supported in the stock Linux kernel since version 2.6.28, so ideally you should simply use 2.6.28 or later, and obtain and install the latest firmware as described here: Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000. The right modules should be loaded automatically on boot (check lsmod and dmesg output). Then start Kaffeine 0.8.8 for example.
Important note: There is another revision of the card which is not supported under Linux. This revision is not even recognized by the kernel because it has a different PCI device identifier. The unrecognized identifier is [14f1:0800]. To check your card, enter:
# lspci -vnn ... 01:07.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Conexant Systems, Inc. Device [14f1:0800] (rev 05) ...
The revision that is correctly recognized has the id [14f1:8800].
On some cards it seems, that the firmware is not recognized. If you accesses the card, you get the error:
... cx24116_cmd_execute() Firmware not responding ...
For me it works to run one session a Kernel with a patch described here.
If you have to run an earlier kernel try the v4l-dvb repository at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb, and see Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000 or the link below for getting the latest firmware. It is identified as "Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000(Lite) DVB-S/S2".
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb cd v4l-dvb make sudo make install sudo reboot
Resources
- An old ubuntuusers.de forum thread with how-to on page 3 in German (should be easily machine-translateable), which seems to work for some people. Uses driver code, which used to be in the linuxtv Hg repository, with some updates to that code back then so that the HD-S2 code works with newer kernels. Recognized as a "Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000(Lite)". (Wonder why that code was removed.)
Sample kernel output
Note that this differs slightly from the HVR-4000 model in that there are no analogue sound inputs on the card. This results in the following line in the kernel log: tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is None (idx 0)
