Longtime Xubuntu user, very recently switched to Arch with xfce4. Thanks to the awesome Arch wiki, almost all of my hardware issues were easily resolved (HP wireless printer, old Epson scanner). Unfortunately, I'm still having issues with a USB TV tuner (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q) when trying to watch over-the-air terrestrial broadcast TV in the USA (so, ATSC). In Kaffeine, I'm able to scan for channels and locate all the channels I found when I was using Xubuntu. When I select the channel i want to watch, the channel guide shows up telling me what program is currently on and what program is on next. However, the picture is either completely blank or the picture appears but is extremely pixelated. At no point is there sound. lsusb identifies the device correctly. The device appears in Kaffeine correctly.
In Xubuntu, I followed these instructions to get the card to work:
https://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support … linux.html
I'm not sure how to "convert" those instructions to Arch. I'm thinking I need to add the correct driver, but I'm not sure. I've searched the repos and AUR for anything "hauppage" but didn't see anything obvious.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If this should be in the Multimedia/Games section of this forum, please let me know.
The linuxtv.org page for this device has the correct dmesg output for plugging in and using this tuner:

Hi, I don't know if this will fix your issue, but just the other day, upon a new install of Manjaro (which is based on Arch), none of my media devices were playing either, with vlc.
What I did was removed the installed VLC package via 'sudo pacman -R vlc' and anything that came back as depends on vlc. Then reinstalled VLC (sudo pacman -S vlc' and any other depends on, and voila, Video was playing fine.
I wasn't using Kaffeine, however "under the hood" kaffeine uses libvlc. I don't know how to explain why or any reasoning as to why, but that worked for me.

Comparing your dmesg output to the example provided, it looks like your kernel is not loading some important modules related to DVB devices.
Please post the output of:
zgrep -i dvb /proc/config.gzIf you are missing, for example, dvb core and/or dvb usb this could explain why your kernel isn't showing all the same modules getting control of the necessary parts of the hardware.
What happens if you try to modprobe some of the missing modules manually, and do you have any files with "dvb" in their name under /lib/modules?
[Edit: Saw that you address /lib/firmware under your second post]

You need to be root to load kernel modules hence the modprobe error.

Ugh, that wasn't my brightest moment. Sorry about that. I loaded both modules as root successfully. Unfortunately that didn't fix the issue yet. Question - once I load those modules, do I need to re-insert the tuner in order for things to have a chance of working? If so, I'll need to open up my chasis and remove the tuner as it's an internally mounted. Not a big deal.
I also noticed the following:
$ zgrep -i cx231 /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX231XX=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX231XX_RC=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX231XX_ALSA=m

$ zgrep -i lgdt3306 /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DVB_LGDT3306A=mSo clearly some basic modules aren't loaded and the usb interface, demodulator, and tuner are all not configured. Looks like I have some learning to do.

Doesn't sound like a driver or firmware problem, because the OP said the device IS tuning channels.
After that, it's job is pretty much completed. Just demuxing / passing packets along to his video player app in user land for decoding.

I tried uninstalling kaffeine and vlc and reinstalling, but that did not resolve the issue.
I removed the tuner from inside the chassis in order to better troubleshoot. I loaded dvb_core and dvb_usb and then plugged the tuner in. Unfortunately, the results are the same. Here is dmesg:

[ 6460.741369] si2157 11-0060: firmware version: 3.0.5It's the exact same as in my previous post (post #2 in this thread) with the exception of two lines from the original dmesg at lines 16 and 17 that are NOT in htis new dmesg:
[ 361.236299] mc: Linux media interface: v0.10
[ 361.248202] videodev: Linux video capture interface: v2.00I rescanned "just in case" but still have the same results. All channels were found, the channel guide is pulled, but the picture is either blank or extremely pixelated with no sound.
For sanity sake I plugged the coax in to a regular TV to make sure it's not an actual antenna issue, and it is not. Crystal clear.
My wife's laptop is still Xubuntu 20.04, so my next step will be to install the tuner via the official Hauppauge instructions, make sure it works, and then compare dmesg and kernel configs.

After four hours of banging my head against the wall after successfully getting the tuner to work on my wife's xubuntu laptop in about 5 minutes, I finally changed my internet search phrases from being centered around Hauppauge and Arch to centered around Live TV and Kaffeine. Found the solution in 5 minutes from this archived Manjaro forum post.
I just needed to install aribb24.
Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.
edit: I re-read that last sentence and hope it did not come off as sarcastic. It is definitely sincere.
