Revision as of 05:39, 1 August 2009
An ATSC PCIe card from Hauppauge.
It is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.27. (Note: Analog support is not implemented yet).
Overview/Features
The HVR-1250 is also known by its codename Coram.
Components Used:
- ? (tuner for analog ... likely a NXP/Philips TDA18271)
- Microtune MT2131 (tuner for digital)
- NXP/Philips TDA8295 (analog IF demodulator)
- Samsung S5H1409/Conexant CX24227 (digital demodulator)
- Conexant CX23887 (A/V Decoder & PCIe bridge)
Identification
It has a Subsystem ID of 0x7911.
lspci -vvnn gives

Other Images
Power Draw
Based on measurement with a Kill-A-Watt and 2 cards plugged in vs. not, each card seems to draw about 6W even when idle.
Making it Work
Firmware
No firmware is needed for ATSC/QAM functionality.
Drivers
The cx23885 driver has been upstream since 2.6.27, so should be available in some newer distribution kernels.
Otherwise, get the latest cx18 driver. Then, inside the cx18- directory do
make
and
make install
as root. Then load the module
/sbin/modprobe cx23885
Known issues
If you are using Suse 10.3, on some systems it will hang on dvbscan as soon as it finds a signal.
If you encounter this issue, compile and install the 2.4.24-3 kernel.
Then recompiling the cx18 against it to fix the issue.

Remote Control Support
The IR Remote is controlled through the cx23885 chip, which is currently not supported in the driver
Testing
use scan to get the initial channel list required by [azap]
use azap to tune to the desired channel
use mplayer to watch the channel. Be sure to copy the channels.conf file from the initial scan to your ~/.mplayer directory
mplayer dvb://"Channel Name"
