=== Digital Support ===
In September 2009, Steven Toth at [http://kernellabs.com kernellabs] submitted code to the linux kernel mailing list that adds support for the NXP Saa7164 PCIe A/V bridge used by the Hauppauge HVR-2250 card. See instructions at [[Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200]]. Note that support is still limited to DVB-T / ATSC / QAM digital TV only; there is no analog support yet.

Firmware

The windows driver and linux firmware extraction scripts are up on http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx

Drivers

Drivers are expected to be included in Linux 2.6.32.

In the meantime, for stable tree hg clone http://kernellabs.com/hg/saa7164-stable/

For Development tree hg clone http://kernellabs.com/hg/~stoth/saa7164-dev/

then... make menuconfig edit as needed make make install reboot
