Making it Work

  • Install the firmware:
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/22xxdrv_27086.zip
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/extract.sh

sh extract.sh
cp *fw /lib/firmware
# for some linux distros, might need the following line instead of the above
cp *fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`

Install tools. For Ubuntu or debian: 

apt-get install get patchutils lsdiff libproc-processtable-perl build-essential

At this point you should install the source or at least the headers for your kernel. The linuxtv drivers probably need to build against your kernel source. I am not 100% sure on this requirement, but it seems like an easy enough step to take.

Download the build tree and build it. It will download compatibility patches for your kernel if available: 

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build 
./build.sh

Note: this method (as of 2012/03/02) will only give NTSC for analog TV, the driver does not have PAL support. You can at this point patch your code with the patch here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/26212/focus=26524. A bit of fiddling is needed to apply the patch in the newer kernels, but I have it working with 3.2.1. Apply the patch to the linux subdirectory of the git archive (after calling ./build.sh), and then call ./build again (or just make). --- patch for 3.2.1-gentoo kernel: https://github.com/reinhrst/nl.claude.tools/tree/2594dd91cb81a3c905a53b9168f52a42e317cd1f/misc

Note: (as of 2012/11/27) Revision 2 of this card will fail to initialize correctly with a dmesg error similar to the below: Full details are available here

To get the card working you'll have to

Now that we've built all the latest linuxtv drivers install them (from the media_build folder): 

sudo make install

Finally reboot to load the driver (or use sudo make unload, then sudo modprobe driver name to unload and reload the drivers - see http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers for more info.)

Note: Some kernels will not have enough free memory available for the driver. The dmesg error will start with a message like this: 

] modprobe: page allocation failure: order:10, mode:0x2000d0

followed by a stack trace and other debugging information. While the driver will load, no devices will be registered.

The simple workaround is to allocate more memory for the kernel: 

sudo /bin/echo 16384 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
sudo rmmod saa7164
sudo modprobe saa7164
  • NB: One user found that the output of grep saa7164 /var/log/dmesg (on Ubuntu 11) was:
[    4.604840] saa7164 driver loaded
[    4.604890] saa7164 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

[    4.947883] saa7164_downloadfirmware() Upload failed. (file not found?)

This necessitated the download of http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/4019072/NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw and copy to /lib/firmware/<current kernel> (this firmware version doesn't get generated using the instructions further up the page).

  • After running 
    sudo make unload
    and 
    sudo modprobe saa7164
    the /dev/dvb/adapter0&1 devices were properly populated.

Making it Work Easily

This was tested under Ubuntu 12.04

  • Create a file named options in the /etc/modprobe.d folder , the first line should have : options saa7164 card=8
  • reboot

card=8 is for most 2250 cards. card=4 for an 8940 card. To find out what number to put in the card=x do the following 

 dmesg | grep saa7164

The third line should have something like [card=8,insmod option]

NOTE: You should use dmesg to find the card number before you create the modprobe.d file. If you don't, it will use the card number you put in modprobe.d instead of autodetecting the card number (ugh!)

You can see a list of the card numbers here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7164

In your dmesg option, you can find card version in the line that includes the word subsystem. Mine was 0070:8851 which is card=7 not 8.


WARNING: Another user here... These Making it Work Easily instructions did not work for me (Mythbuntu 12.04.3). These instructions only install the NXP7164 firmware. This initially appeared to get the card to work, however every 10-30 minutes or so I would get very bad pixellation issues that lasted for approx 1-2 minutes, before going good again. On inspection, the dmesg log contained a reference to another missing firmware dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw. I then followed the instructions on this page in the Making it work section to install the firmware by manually extracting from the zip file. This fixed up the issue completely.

Ubuntu 14.04

Hit the same problem in Ubuntu 14.04 with Making it Work Easily where dmesg showing missing dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw message

WORK AROUND

Follow "Making it Work Easily" instructions, then: 

# wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/22xxdrv_27086.zip
# wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
# wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/extract.sh
# sh extract.sh
# sudo cp dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw /lib/firmware
# sudo reboot

Making it work using a GUI

I've put together a tv tuner config tool which sets up many cards:

https://github.com/map7/tvconfig

Alternative method using (older) mercurial tree:

Install tools. For Mythdora: 

yum install mercurial

For Ubuntu or Debian: 

apt-get install mercurial libncurses5-dev

For stable tree 

hg clone http://kernellabs.com/hg/saa7164-stable/
cd saa7164-stable

For development tree 

hg clone http://kernellabs.com/hg/~stoth/saa7164-dev/
cd saa7164-dev

For Ubuntu or Debian, deconfigure the firedtv driver in the following process per Devin Heitmueller: 

make menuconfig
perl -p -i -e 's/FIREDTV=m/FIREDTV=n/' v4l/.config
edit as needed but should have all enabled that is needed
make
make install
reboot

For non-Ubuntu or Debian: 

make menuconfig
edit as needed but should have all enabled that is needed
make
make install
reboot

Every time the linux kernel is upgraded to a new version, you'll need to reboot and then repeat the above steps.

MythDora: With a fresh Mythdora 10 install, chances are the above won't work until you install the kernel source code. 

yum install kernel-devel

Repeat the make commands above after installing the kernel source.

MythDora: A non-programmer, Linux and MythTV newbie wrote the added details about MythDora 10. I got the driver to work using Kernel 2.6.27.38-170.2.113.fc10.x86_64, by installing Mercurial and kernel-devel (plus a few other guesses, documented in the Discussion tab). Other research suggested I needed ncurses and ncurses-devel, and gcc, but I'm not sure of those are really required. Hopefully someone comes along and corrects any errors and incorporates additional information in this main article, which I found most useful.

Verifying it Works

- Another user here on Debian (KDE mostly). I am unable to verify/use card as I am clueless about setting up media center type software to put it to use.

Doesn't work with Supermicro PCIe Gen3 slot motherboards

I tried to use it with a Supermicro X11SAT-F (Bios 2.0c, Release Date: 10/20/2017) and X10DRi-T (Bios 2.1a, Release Date: 05/05/2017) motherboards which have PCIe GEN 3 slots only. For both the motherboards the PCIe link speed was changed from Auto to Gen1 in the BIOS. The card was not detected by the X11SAT-F motherboard, however it was detected by X10DRi-T. Hauppauge techsupport said "The board is not supported on those Xeon Supermicro motherboards. We had discussions with Supermicro a couple of years ago about this and the simple conclusion was that thecard would need a physical modification to make it work"
