Installation

If you plug in your Stick, you maybe get something like this when you type dmesg:

[  800.592642] usb 1-3.4.3: new high-speed USB device number 11 using ehci_hcd
[  800.685850] usb 1-3.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2040, idProduct=1605
[  800.685860] usb 1-3.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=2
[  800.685868] usb 1-3.4.3: Product: WinTV HVR-930C
[  800.685874] usb 1-3.4.3: SerialNumber: 4034507968

This output indicates that your kernel has detected the drive. If nothing is following to this lines, then it is time to install the firmware and load the necessary modules into the kernel. Follow the steps below, but they use these instructions at your own risk.

Basicly the following kernel modules are needed:

 xc5000.ko
 drxk.ko
 em28xx.ko

You need this file in your /lib/firmware: dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw

Step by step instructions

1) Download and extract the Windows-Driver. Then copy the firmware to /lib/firmware

 wget http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/drivers/HVR-9x0_5_10_325_28153_SIGNED.zip
 unzip HVR-9x0_5_10_325_28153_SIGNED.zip
 dd if=HVR-900/emOEM.sys of=dvb-usb-hauppauge-hvr930c-drxk.fw bs=1 skip=71600 count=42692
 sudo cp dvb-usb-hauppauge-hvr930c-drxk.fw /lib/firmware/

2) Install the needed packages for the following step. You have to choose the correct headers for your system.

 sudo apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

3) make get the sources and compile. This step takes some time.

 sudo rm -r media_build
 git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
 cd media_build
 ./build
 sudo make install; sudo make load
