Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2205

DVB-T2/T or DVB-C PCIe Twin Tuner card from Hauppauge. Drivers in kernel 4.2. Model WinTV-HVR-2215 works with the same driver.

Features

• Tuner input, Belling Lee Connector (Cable or Antenna)
• PCIe x1
• Si2168-B40 demodulator
• Si2157-A30 tuner
• NXP SAA7164 PCIe bridge

Driver and more

• Drivers are included since kernel 4.2. Use media_build to build it for the earlier kernels.

Firmware

The driver requires firmware for the demod.

The easiest option is to download the firmware from OpenELEC firmware collection [1]. Note that when downloading the firmware, you will need to click the Raw button to get the actual binary.

• dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

Also the PCIe bridge requires a firmware (NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw) but that seems to be included in most distros by default.

Place the firmware file under /lib/firmware.
