[[Image:Hauppague WinTV-HVR-4000.jpg|right|250px|The HVR-4000 and Remote]]
For DVB-S/S2 there is an experimental drivers repository from Steven Toth (see http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/hvr4000). Analog video and remote control works also with this driver (*).


A hybrid [[DVB-S2]] [[DVB-S2 PCI Cards|PCI card]] from [[Hauppauge]].
Currently, no support for simultaneous operation of both DVB-T and DVB-S is implemented. Default operation mode preferes DVB-S.


It is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.28.
Guess Note : Using HVR3000 as example the DVB-T and DVB-S use the same demux on the card, so only one will ever be available. The above I expect to be the same for the HVR4000, ie not a linuxtv issue. It is suggested to create symbolic links to access the frontends for some apps (see HVR3000 in this wiki), but you need to ensure your appilication does not attempt to access both DVB-T and DVB-S at the same time.


==Overview/Features==
(*) Work in progress patches to enable features of this card have been merged into the hvr4000 repository, yet a patch is available without DVB-S2 support for v4l-dvb hg is available here: http://dev.kewl.org/hvr4000/
Quad-mode TV tuner featuring DVB-S2 HDTV, DVB-S, DVB-T, analogue PAL/SECAM cable TV, FM radio reception, plus S-Video, Composite and stereo audio inputs for A/V capture, all in one card!


[[DiSEqC]] 1.0 and 1.2 supported with Linux drivers.
== DVB-T ==


Note: DVB-T and DVB-S/S2 cannot be used simultaneously due to a hardware limitation, but you can easily switch from one to the other.
For DVB-T a special option for the module cx88xx is needed:
card=56


Included: IR remote control, batteries, and remote control receiver. FM radio antenna. S-Video/Composite adapter (to allow a Composite RCA yellow phono to be connected to the S-Video input socket).
The card is automatically detected as card 57. Therefore, using OpenSuSE (and probably also other distros) add the line


Sockets: FM, TV, SAT, S-VIDEO IN, LINE IN, IR.
options cx88xx card=56


No [[CI]].

The "manual" for [http://osdir.com/ml/linux-media/2009-04/msg00112.html new firmware]. I put the greater size for length.

{{Note|There seems to be a more recent version of this firmware:}}

There´s a forum article describing how to extract the firmware: [http://www.mythtvtalk.com/firmware-update-hauppauge-nova-hd-s2-hvr-4000-a-12058/] --- see post #3.
The download link to get the driver now seems to be [http://www.hauppauge.de/files/drivers/hcw88/88x_2_126_28225_WHQL.zip]. Download it with:
wget http://www.hauppauge.de/files/drivers/hcw88/88x_2_126_28225_WHQL.zip

Decompress the .sys file :

unzip -jo 88x_2_126_28225_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys

Extract the firmware and put it in the firmware directory :

sudo dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.26.90.0.fw bs=1 skip=105768 count=32290
sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.26.90.0.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw

For verification of hcw88bda.sys in this version of the driver:

md5sum -b hcw88bda.sys
3f685a2ca6d1dae35b10c06f3a538d82 *hcw88bda.sys

The firmware will be reported as

sudo dmesg|grep cx
cx24116_load_firmware: FW version 1.26.90.0

====Mythbuntu 9.04 users====

'''Attention Mythbuntu 9.04 users:''' This card should actually work with this version of Mythbuntu out of the box. However, the installed firmware seems to be buggy so it is necessary to install the Firmware v1.20.79.0 following the steps above.

===Drivers===

{{Note|If someone wants to provide a brief synopsis of the driver tale of woe, outlining why it took so
long then do so here ... or just [http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-January/023355.html read here]}}

Ubuntu Hardy users should read the note about the sound driver (cx88_alsa) below.

==== Kernel / v4l-dvb driver ====

There is a complete driver for this card in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.28.
It supports DVB-T, DVB-S/S2, analogue TV, A/V capture and FM radio. If you have
the kernel 2.6.28 (or later) you do not need to install a driver yourself.

{{Note|The kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31, 2.6.32 have a [https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythtv/+bug/439163 broken driver]. The mercurial [http://hg.kewl.org/pub/v4l-dvb-20100517/ http://hg.kewl.org/pub/v4l-dvb-20100517/] modules works fine}}

For developers, or those who need to use a kernel earlier than 2.6.28, a development
version of the driver is available in the v4l-dvb repository of the
LinuxTV project (the ususal route to merging improvements into the kernel).

hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/pub/v4l-dvb-20100517/
cd v4l-dvb-20100517
make
make install
reboot

Multiple frontends are supported: DVB-S/S2 and DVB-T appear as /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontend0 and /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontend1 respectively.

Due to a hardware limitation, the two frontends cannot be used ''simultaneously''. However they
can be used sequentially within the same application. The driver handles the mutual exclusion
appropriately.

DVB-T and DVB-S are supported within API v3.2 (or the new API v5.0) and so it is
compatible with current applications. DVB-S2 is accessed through API v5.0, also known as [[S2API]], which was released in kernel 2.6.28.

Command-line scanning for channels can be done with [[scan-s2]]. Tuning DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels can be
done with [[szap-s2]] :
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/szap-s2

[[Kaffeine]] handles multiple frontends well without modification -- they appear in the DVB settings as "DVB Device 0:0" (=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0, i.e. DVB-S/S2) and "DVB Device 0:1" (=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1, i.e. DVB-T). Both devices can be configured and tuned in the application, and Kaffeine will switch to the correct one each time
you change the channel. DiSEqC 1.2 is supported too. Kaffeine will display HDTV delivered over DVB-S2 or DVB-S, e.g. [[BBC HD]], see [[Kaffeine]].

See the section below on how to use this card with [[MythTV]].

===Sound driver===

Alsa driver: cx88_alsa.

To make sure the sound card in the HVR-4000 does not grab card index 0 (instead of your
motherboard or discrete sound card) add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (or wherever
your distro sets alsa kernel module options):

# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
options cx88_alsa index=-2

Note: the Ubuntu Hardy kernel (2.6.24) has a separate Ubuntu version of the cx88_alsa module
which causes problems if you compile your own drivers (modprobe cx88_alsa gives
'cx88_alsa: disagrees about version of symbol' errors). Upgrade the kernel to one
which uses a stock cx88_alsa module and then compile and install the HVR4000 driver. See http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu.

===Usage with MythTV===

[[MythTV]] v0.22 onwards supports multiple frontends and works fine.
UPDATE: DVB-T has no channel search under Broadcast with h264/HE-AAC. Scan resulting in:

Signal Strength: 99%, signal/noise: 49%

All channel scans end up with "Timed out, no signal". Seems to be something broken in MythTV for this function.

{{Note|There seems to be a bug since kernel 3.3.8:

A bug since kernel 3.3.8 (according to http://www.sat4all.com/forums/topic/324586-iemand-sasc-ng-al-werkend-met-32-kernels/page__st__20#entry2123480) triggers a race condition that makes MythTV unable to get a lock (http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10830).
Most easily worked around by running 'femon -H -aX' (where X is the adapter number used) for scanning to help MythTV get a lock. Confirmed to work on Kubuntu 12.10 running MythTV 0.26-patches with kernel 3.5. Installation of firmware still required. }}


===Audio/Video capture===

Scan for channels (UK):

<pre>
mplayer -v tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:normid=4:alsa:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0 -tvscan autostart:period=2.0:threshold=20
</pre>

Play channel (BBC1 WOOLWICH UK):

<pre>
mplayer -v tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:normid=4:alsa:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0:freq=759.25
</pre>

Capture channel (BBC1 WOOLWICH UK):

<pre>
mencoder -fps 50 -ofps 50 -vf harddup,softskip,yadif=1 tv:// -tv channel=57:driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:normid=4:input=0:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:audiorate=32000:width=768:height=576 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:autoaspect:vbitrate=512 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:preset=96 -endpos 60 -o test.avi
</pre>

===Analogue TV and Teletext Receiver===

Does anyone have any info about Linux support?

{{Note|I have latest http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb with mythtv working with analogue TV. You add it as a normal V4L capture card in mythtv. You need this patch to make inital tuning (When you press "Watch TV") in mythtv work: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5744, without it you need to change channel before you see picture instead of snow. Scanning for channels also works. Set audiorate to 48000 to get good sound (in capturecard setup and also in playback groups).
[[User:Anders|Anders]] 11:40, 26 September 2008 (CEST)}}

Another way is to use tvtime (http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/) which is available in many distros.

====S-Video input====
Play the video
<pre>
mplayer -rawaudio rate=48000 tv:// -tv norm=PAL-BG:input=2:alsa=1:adevice=hw.1:audiorate=48000:immediatemode=0:amode=1
</pre>

This will play the video coming in input=2 (S-Video) (input=1 will be the Composite1 input), use alsa for the audio on device hw:1.

Record the video
<pre>
mencoder -fps 50 -ofps 50 -vf harddup,softskip,yadif=1 tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:norm=PAL-BG:input=2:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:audiorate=48000:width=768:height=576 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:autoaspect:vbitrate=512 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:preset=96 -endpos 60 -o test.avi
</pre>

===FM Radio Receiver===

The Latest Drivers have radio support. See here for radio listening applications http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Radio_Listening_Applications.

Example test. First start playing the ALSA sound:
arecord -D hw:1,0 -f dat | aplay &
and then tune with fm-tools:
fm -T forever 99.3
or with radio (which can have preset radio stations):
radio -c /dev/radio0

Change to mono mode
<pre>
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 -t mono
</pre>

Go back to stereo mode
<pre>
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 -t stereo
</pre>

===Remote Control Support===
When you have installed the drivers check dmesg/logs and you'll find a line like:

input: CX88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000 as /class/input/inputX

You can run lirc for example like: lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/eventX (replace X with what it finds in the dmesg)

Debian: edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
DRIVER="dev/input"
DEVICE="/dev/input/eventX"

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf (Works)

Latest revision as of 12:36, 16 December 2016

The HVR-4000 and Remote

A hybrid DVB-S2 PCI card from Hauppauge.

It is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.28.

Overview/Features

Quad-mode TV tuner featuring DVB-S2 HDTV, DVB-S, DVB-T, analogue PAL/SECAM cable TV, FM radio reception, plus S-Video, Composite and stereo audio inputs for A/V capture, all in one card!

DiSEqC 1.0 and 1.2 supported with Linux drivers.

Note: DVB-T and DVB-S/S2 cannot be used simultaneously due to a hardware limitation, but you can easily switch from one to the other.

Included: IR remote control, batteries, and remote control receiver. FM radio antenna. S-Video/Composite adapter (to allow a Composite RCA yellow phono to be connected to the S-Video input socket).

  Ubuntu: Place file in /lib/firmware
  Debian: Place file in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/

The "manual" for new firmware. I put the greater size for length.

Note: There seems to be a more recent version of this firmware:

There´s a forum article describing how to extract the firmware: [1] --- see post #3. The download link to get the driver now seems to be [2]. Download it with: 

wget http://www.hauppauge.de/files/drivers/hcw88/88x_2_126_28225_WHQL.zip

Decompress the .sys file : 

unzip -jo 88x_2_126_28225_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys

Extract the firmware and put it in the firmware directory :

sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.26.90.0.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw

For verification of hcw88bda.sys in this version of the driver: 

md5sum -b hcw88bda.sys
3f685a2ca6d1dae35b10c06f3a538d82 *hcw88bda.sys

The firmware will be reported as 

sudo dmesg|grep cx
cx24116_load_firmware: FW version 1.26.90.0

Mythbuntu 9.04 users

Attention Mythbuntu 9.04 users: This card should actually work with this version of Mythbuntu out of the box. However, the installed firmware seems to be buggy so it is necessary to install the Firmware v1.20.79.0 following the steps above.

Drivers

Note: If someone wants to provide a brief synopsis of the driver tale of woe, outlining why it took so long then do so here ... or just read here

Ubuntu Hardy users should read the note about the sound driver (cx88_alsa) below.

Kernel / v4l-dvb driver

There is a complete driver for this card in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.28. It supports DVB-T, DVB-S/S2, analogue TV, A/V capture and FM radio. If you have the kernel 2.6.28 (or later) you do not need to install a driver yourself.

Note: The kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31, 2.6.32 have a broken driver. The mercurial http://hg.kewl.org/pub/v4l-dvb-20100517/ modules works fine

For developers, or those who need to use a kernel earlier than 2.6.28, a development version of the driver is available in the v4l-dvb repository of the LinuxTV project (the ususal route to merging improvements into the kernel). 

 hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/pub/v4l-dvb-20100517/
 cd v4l-dvb-20100517
 make
 make install
 reboot

Multiple frontends are supported: DVB-S/S2 and DVB-T appear as /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontend0 and /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontend1 respectively.

Due to a hardware limitation, the two frontends cannot be used simultaneously. However they can be used sequentially within the same application. The driver handles the mutual exclusion appropriately.

DVB-T and DVB-S are supported within API v3.2 (or the new API v5.0) and so it is compatible with current applications. DVB-S2 is accessed through API v5.0, also known as S2API, which was released in kernel 2.6.28.

Command-line scanning for channels can be done with scan-s2. Tuning DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels can be done with szap-s2 : 

hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/szap-s2

Kaffeine handles multiple frontends well without modification -- they appear in the DVB settings as "DVB Device 0:0" (=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0, i.e. DVB-S/S2) and "DVB Device 0:1" (=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1, i.e. DVB-T). Both devices can be configured and tuned in the application, and Kaffeine will switch to the correct one each time you change the channel. DiSEqC 1.2 is supported too. Kaffeine will display HDTV delivered over DVB-S2 or DVB-S, e.g. BBC HD, see Kaffeine.

See the section below on how to use this card with MythTV.

Sound driver

Alsa driver: cx88_alsa.

To make sure the sound card in the HVR-4000 does not grab card index 0 (instead of your motherboard or discrete sound card) add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (or wherever your distro sets alsa kernel module options): 

# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
options cx88_alsa index=-2

Note: the Ubuntu Hardy kernel (2.6.24) has a separate Ubuntu version of the cx88_alsa module which causes problems if you compile your own drivers (modprobe cx88_alsa gives 'cx88_alsa: disagrees about version of symbol' errors). Upgrade the kernel to one which uses a stock cx88_alsa module and then compile and install the HVR4000 driver. See http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu.

Usage with MythTV

MythTV v0.22 onwards supports multiple frontends and works fine. UPDATE: DVB-T has no channel search under Broadcast with h264/HE-AAC. Scan resulting in:

Signal Strength: 99%, signal/noise: 49%

All channel scans end up with "Timed out, no signal". Seems to be something broken in MythTV for this function.

Note: There seems to be a bug since kernel 3.3.8:

A bug since kernel 3.3.8 (according to http://www.sat4all.com/forums/topic/324586-iemand-sasc-ng-al-werkend-met-32-kernels/page__st__20#entry2123480) triggers a race condition that makes MythTV unable to get a lock (http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10830).

Most easily worked around by running 'femon -H -aX' (where X is the adapter number used) for scanning to help MythTV get a lock. Confirmed to work on Kubuntu 12.10 running MythTV 0.26-patches with kernel 3.5. Installation of firmware still required.


Audio/Video capture

Scan for channels (UK): 

mplayer -v tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:normid=4:alsa:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0 -tvscan autostart:period=2.0:threshold=20

Play channel (BBC1 WOOLWICH UK): 

mplayer -v tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:normid=4:alsa:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0:freq=759.25

Capture channel (BBC1 WOOLWICH UK): 

mencoder -fps 50 -ofps 50 -vf harddup,softskip,yadif=1 tv:// -tv channel=57:driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:normid=4:input=0:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:audiorate=32000:width=768:height=576 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:autoaspect:vbitrate=512 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:preset=96 -endpos 60 -o test.avi

Analogue TV and Teletext Receiver

Does anyone have any info about Linux support?

Note: I have latest http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb with mythtv working with analogue TV. You add it as a normal V4L capture card in mythtv. You need this patch to make inital tuning (When you press "Watch TV") in mythtv work: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5744, without it you need to change channel before you see picture instead of snow. Scanning for channels also works. Set audiorate to 48000 to get good sound (in capturecard setup and also in playback groups). Anders 11:40, 26 September 2008 (CEST)

Another way is to use tvtime (http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/) which is available in many distros.

S-Video input

Play the video 

 mplayer -rawaudio rate=48000 tv:// -tv norm=PAL-BG:input=2:alsa=1:adevice=hw.1:audiorate=48000:immediatemode=0:amode=1

This will play the video coming in input=2 (S-Video) (input=1 will be the Composite1 input), use alsa for the audio on device hw:1.

Record the video 

 mencoder -fps 50 -ofps 50 -vf harddup,softskip,yadif=1 tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:norm=PAL-BG:input=2:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:audiorate=48000:width=768:height=576 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:autoaspect:vbitrate=512 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:preset=96 -endpos 60 -o test.avi

FM Radio Receiver

The Latest Drivers have radio support. See here for radio listening applications http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Radio_Listening_Applications.

Example test. First start playing the ALSA sound: 

arecord -D hw:1,0 -f dat | aplay  &

and then tune with fm-tools: 

fm -T forever 99.3

or with radio (which can have preset radio stations): 

radio -c /dev/radio0

Change to mono mode 

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 -t mono

Go back to stereo mode 

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 -t stereo

Remote Control Support

When you have installed the drivers check dmesg/logs and you'll find a line like:

input: CX88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000 as /class/input/inputX

You can run lirc for example like: lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/eventX (replace X with what it finds in the dmesg) 

  Debian: edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
  DRIVER="dev/input"
  DEVICE="/dev/input/eventX"

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf (Works)
