Making it Work

Drivers

Upstream cx23885 driver support the card since kernel 2.6.26.

Firmware

Proper operation of the device needs firmware files in your /lib/firmware directory (directory may differ with some distros). Firmware files can be obtained at the following location. Check readme for information.

# wget http://steventoth.net/linux/hvr1200/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
# wget http://steventoth.net/linux/hvr1200/extract.sh
# /bin/sh extract.sh
# sudo cp v4l-cx23885-enc.fw v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw /lib/firmware

Rebooting or reloading modules may be needed for the modules to see installed firmware files.
