Making it Work

It is not supported by Linux. The subsystem has two matches, both reference boards: Philips TOUGH DVB-T reference design and Philips EUROPA V3 reference design. This can be found in CARDLIST.saa7134.

When loading the saa7134 module with the card parameter 156 (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1110r3 DVB-T/Hybrid) with firmware installed (see below), the card seems to work, but fails when scanning DVB channels.

Firmware

The card needs firmware for the TDA10048.

Drivers

The card uses the built-in V4L saa7134 driver.
