-WORK IN PROGRESS-

The HVR3000 is pretty new and I've had so much trouble trying to get it working I thought I'd make some notes here. Apologies for the quality of this page (I'm writing it as a blog until I have time to rewrite it properly), but I thought some notes was better than no notes.

I've linked to this from a relevant bit of the V4L wiki as, I'm trying to get both the DVB-T and Analogue bits of this working.

My System

I've got 3 PC's I intend to make this work on, the first is called barney. Barney is an AMD64 running in 32Bit mode, with a NVidia GeForce 7800 GTX and a Logitech Quickcam Express (046d:0928) camera and the Hauppauge HVR3000 card. Barney has 2GB of RAM and a 200GB SATA disk, with XP on sda3 (100GB). I have a separate /boot partition (~1GB). I initially had barney running fc4 and had a lot of grief trying to install a working 2.6.19 kernel. I attempted to upgrade all the various packages to make it work, before going for a full =>fc6/7 (ie dev) upgrade, breaking the computer and starting again. Hey I didn't need that system anyway (thankfully). So I re-installed it with kubuntu edgy (as an aside I had problems with the standard kubuntu install, and had to install via the mini cd. I subsequently discovered there are issues relating to a 32bit install on a 64bit CPU).

At this point I should let you know, /proc/bus/usb/devices identifies my (unknown) camera and I have /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 corresponding to the camera and HVR3000 although I can't tune anything. When I started this, XP worked and if I rebooted from XP into fc4 having watched a channel on the WinTV2000, I could see the last channel. xawtv seems to

Kernel Support

Unfortunately kubuntu edgy comes with 2.6.17 and no HVR3000 support also, so I've been working on getting the latest code into /drivers/media/video/cx88 to working kernel modules. I've tried following http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 to upgrade my kernel, but I encountered the SATA problems it lists at the bottom. So I installed the feisty 2.6.19 kernel, which boots and seems to have support compiled in. If only I can make it work.

As an aside : http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=17223 seems useful
