Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1110

The Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1110 is a hybrid receiver card (analog and DVB-T). It sometimes ships in a HVR-1100 box. The HVR-1110 however is of triangular shape while the HVR-1100 board is of rectangular shape. The analog tuner is based on the PHILIPS SAA7134 chipset, while the digital tuner is based on the TDA10046 chipset.

In the following sections I will explain how I set the card up in order to work under Fedora Core 6.0

Installing the HVR-1110 to Work Under Fedora Core 6

The Howto applies to a x86_64 architecture running Fedora Core 6 and kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6.

Installing the SAA7134 Driver

The analog tuner of the HVR-1110 runs out of the box. The kernel moduls are already included in the 2.6.20 kernel. No driver installation is required. Look out for something like

kernel: saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded

in the /var/log/messages to make sure the driver is loaded.

Installing the SAA7134-dvb Modules

In order for the DVB-T to work an additional module, SAA7134-dvb, and the firmware has to be installed. First of all, check whether the module is already installed. Scan through

dmesg

and look out for something like

DVB: registering new adapter (saa7133[0]).
DVB: registering frontend 1 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)...

If you find that, than the SAA7134-dvb kernel module is already installed. If not load it into the kernel like this

modprobe saa7134-dvb.

This should automatically create a folder in /dev:

/dev/dvb/adapterN
