Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000
A hybrid DVB-S2 PCI card from Hauppauge.
It is currently not supported under Linux. However, experimental support for some of the device's features is available (see below for details).
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).
Sockets: FM, TV, SAT, S-VIDEO IN, LINE IN, IR.
No CI.

Making it Work
Firmware
For a discussion of the different firmware versions, see http://allrussian.info/thread.php?threadid=98587.
CX24116 firmware version: 1.20.79.0, size: 32522 bytes, md5sum: 417cafd3b10e207e1dba9a03ad63e405 CX24116 firmware version: 1.22.82.0, size: 32501 bytes, md5sum: b728b5d635393a4081e87d30d87a7632 CX24116 firmware version: 1.23.86.1, size: 32674 bytes, md5sum: dd8dfdfca6b72462d9db8032f78631c8
Firmware v1.20.79.0
One could use the script provided from wget-fw.sh to fetch the firmware for us. Basically what it does is :
1) Fetch an archive :
wget ftp://167.206.143.11/outgoing/Oxford/88x_2_119_25023_WHQL.zip
2) Decompress what's needed :
unzip -jo 88x_2_119_25023_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys
3) Extract the firmware (v1.20.79.0) and put it in the right place :
sudo dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.20.79.0.fw skip=81768 bs=1 count=32522 sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.20.79.0.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw
Ubuntu: Place file in /lib/firmware Debian: Place file in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
Firmware v1.22.82.0
For slightly newer firmware (v1.22.82.0) using drivers from Hauppauge
1) Download the driver archive :
wget http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/drivers/88x_2_122_26109_WHQL.zip
2) Decompress the .sys file :
unzip -jo 88x_2_122_26109_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys
3) Extract the firmware and put it in the firmware directory :
sudo dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.22.82.0.fw skip=75504 bs=1 count=32501 sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.22.82.0.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw
Firmware v1.23.86.1
Firmware v1.23.86.1 is available with the TeVii S460 Linux driver at http://tevii.com/support.html. (But what's with the proprietary RAR archive format? Geez...)
wget http://tevii.com/Tevii_linuxdriver_0815.rar sudo apt-get install unrar-free unrar x Tevii_linuxdriver_0815.rar sudo cp tevii_linuxdriver_0815/fw/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.23.86.1.fw sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.23.86.1.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw
Drivers
There is currently no in-kernel driver for this card, but it is expected that there will be a driver in kernel 2.6.28.
However, experimental support does exist, provided by the four different drivers listed below. Ubuntu Hardy users should first read the note about the sound driver (cx88_alsa) below.
HG Drivers
These are the latest drivers are are built into the latest hg repo of the linux-tv archive
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ cd v4l-dvb make make install reboot
Multifrontend (MFE) driver (This is now integrated into v4l-dvb)
These drivers give you the ability to have multi frontend on the HVR4000. (ie DVB-S and DVB-T tuners, or even the triple-play DVB-S/S2 + DVB-T, see below).
In the multifrontend driver, DVB-T and DVB-S are supported within the current 3.2 API and so it is compatible with current applications.
DVB-S/S2 then appears at /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 and DVB-T appears at /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1.
Tuning DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels can be done with 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) 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-S, e.g. BBC HD, see Kaffeine.
Most programs such as MythTV don't know about multiple frontends yet. You can only use one at a time, but the following allows you to swap between them without having to load the modules in differently:
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter1 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0
Multiproto driver (OLD - To Be removed from Wiki)
The wiki in german languagedescribes what has to be done in order to compile "standard" multiproto driver.
Unfortunately at the date of writing, there is no support for our beloved card, so one should fetch
the patch from linuxtv mailing list which you should apply to the tree before compiling the driver. I haven't tested the patch which adds the multi frontend support but it's certainly a way to follow :-)
After having applied the patch, one could follow the first link of this section to have a VDR with full DVB-S2 support!!!
Latest - 29-1-08 --------------------------- hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto wget http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/attachments/20080128/adee4c88/attachment-0001.bin mv attachment-0001.bin multiproto-hvr4k-2008-01-28.patch.bz2 bunzip2 multiproto-hvr4k-2008-01-28.patch.bz2 ln -s multiproto a; ln -s multiproto b patch -p0 < multiproto-hvr4k-2008-01-28.patch cd multiproto run make menuconfig and disable the USB capture cards as the em88 drivers are broken and make sure customise frontends is enabled. make && make install && reboot
UPDATE 1st Aug 2008: Igor Liplianin has created another repository containing multiproto code and szap2 at http://liplianindvb.sourceforge.net/hg/, reported to be working with the HVR-4000. See http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-July/027514.html. This appears to be similar to the V4L/DVB staging development repository at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ but with the addition of multiproto code.
hg clone http://liplianindvb.sourceforge.net/hg/liplianindvb hg clone http://liplianindvb.sourceforge.net/hg/szap2
UPDATE 12. Oct. 2008: The multiproto driver seems to be integrated in V4L.

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
Most programs such as MythTV don't know about multiple frontends yet. You can only use one at a time, but the following allows you to use both frontends.
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter1 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0
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

Analogue TV and Teletext Receiver
Does anyone have any info about Linux support?
Another way is to use tvtime (http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/) which is available in many distros.
FM Radio Receiver
The Latest Drivers have radio support. See here for radio listening applications http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/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)
