Hauppauge WinTV HVR 850 - cannot load module

jni · 2011-07-05 02:23:25

Hi,

I recently got TV and thought i'd give a try to a tuner card and record some stuff on my PC.

I read on the net, and the cheapest, yet linux-ok was the Hauppauge WinTV HVR 850, so i got that one.

I read alot on the net about it to make it work. I tried pretty much everything i could, but now i'm giving up.

I saw it needs the au0828 driver, as you can see in /usr/src/linux-2.6.39-jni/drivers/media/video/au0828/au0828-cards.c

[AU0828_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_HVR850] = {
                  .name   = "Hauppauge HVR850",
                  .tuner_type = TUNER_XC5000,
                  .tuner_addr = 0x61,
                  .i2c_clk_divider = AU0828_I2C_CLK_30KHZ,
                  .input = {
.....

However, when booting, it seems to use cx231xx/cx25840 and those seem to crash miserably.

here is what i can see in dmesg :

I don't know what else to add here. If you need more info, i'll gladly provide it.

Thanks in advance for looking into this. Hardware and drivers matters aren't my speciality! lol i'm sure it's real stupid...

This one seems related, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122003

However, he gets a null pointer, while i have a paging request.

Since i just bought mine, i can't tell if it used to work or something... but if he says so, maybe i'll have a look at the last merges in the kernel tomorrow...

Jni, Welcome to Arch. When posting program output or files (especially large ones), please use BBCode "Code" tags. Let me know if you need assistance with them.

Sorry about that, didn't think about it. Edited.

Here are some more info. I am still totally lost in this though.

I managed to get rid of the driver issue posted above.

I plugged in analogic cable and tvtime would show some images, but with no sound (despite me trying every possible channel my alsa has to offer).

I then tried plugging in the cable directly from the wall, without using the decoder... image went black and i couldn't see a thing (as i thought).

However, now that i went back to my original setup (simply plug in, plug out and plug back in... simple as that), i no longer have the picture!

Here are some verbose output from tvtime and xawtv. If someone can understand something out of that, help would be greatly appreciated!

Two years later this card still does not seem to work.

I felt the need to reply in order to explain the driver confusion. There are three devices branded as WinTV HVR 850. The first two use the au0828 driver while the most recent one uses the cx231xx driver. The LinuxTV page says the device IDs are "2040:651f", "2040:7240" and "2040:b140" respectively so we have the most recent one.
