This howto is for installing Hauppuage WinTV HVR 1100 under Ubuntu “might work for other wintv cards” no guarantee though…

Here we go first check if your card got detected

lspci

you should get something like:

0000:00:12.0 Multimedia controller:Philips Semiconductors SAA7133 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1) Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 6701 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12 Memory at eb101000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

first make sure you have the packacges required for the configuration of the card, open a console and type:

sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial linux-headers-`uname -r` dvb-utils

then get the v4l-dvb files:

cd /opt/ hg clonehttp://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb cd v4l-dvb

make sudo make install

sudo -s

then modprobe:

sudo modprobe -r saa7134-alsa saa7134-dvb saa7134 && sudo modprobe saa7134 card=101 && sudo modprobe saa7134-dvb echo “saa7134-dvb” >> /etc/modules

now get the firmware compatible with your card from http://thadathil.net:8000/dvb/ then “sudo” copy it to /lib/firmware

sudo reboot

I think that was it use scantv or mythtv to scan for channels i will write a tutorial as soon as i get to it
