#Hauppauge wintv hvr 2250 install#
Once you install Tvheadend, you can access the web UI from localhost:9981. v3.9.385~g7d8d81a~precise works great for me but YMMV.
I’m using the unstable PPA because the stable version didn’t correctly parse service names from my over-the-air signal. Next, you’ll want to install Tvheadend backend TV server: sudo apt-add-repository sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tvheadend Restart your computer and your hardware should now be working. Replace the card=7 part with whatever your dmesg output said. The file should contain options saa7164 card=7. You want to create an options file in /etc/modprobe.d: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options The third line will read something like: CORE saa7164: subsystem: 0070:8851, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 You can find that by running the following: dmesg | grep saa7164 Next, you need to determine which type of card you have. This just copies more firmware to your firmware directory. I then followed some of the directions under the Making it Work Easily section: wget sudo cp NXP7164-.1.fw /lib/firmware For me, this is where I needed to copy the extracted firmware: sudo cp v4l-saa7164-1.0.2.fw /lib/firmware/3.2.0-59-generic sudo cp v4l-saa7164-1.0.3.fw /lib/firmware/3.2.0-59-generic sudo cp dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw /lib/firmware/3.2.0-59-generic Download More Firmware It just unzips the downloaded files and tells you where to copy the fw files next. You can look at the extract.sh script before you run it. Download Firmware wget wget wget chmod +x extract.sh. Here are the steps that I ran to get my setup working. Here is how I got my WinTV-HVR2250 working. Anyway, since I had to reinstall my OS, I’ve needed to setup all of my hardware again. I’ve been using elementary OS Luna lately, an Ubuntu derivative, and I really like it so far.
