[00:57] <steved_> Hello... I just got a Hauppauge <spelling> 860 USB tuner so I installed a fresh copy of mythubuntu 10.10... took awhile but I got the Os to finally see the card.. however Mythtv never shows any channels or upcoming tv schedules.  I downloaded tvtime and it's showing all my channels blank.  any ideas?
[00:57] <steved_> 850* not 860
[13:09] <_Nuetron_> I bought a new tv tuner USB card (Hauppage <spelling> 850) and did a fresh install of mythubuntu 10.10.  I downloaded all the stuff from kernellabs and got them compiled (finally) and now dmesg shows my card and is using the cx231xx driver. TVTime and MythTV see my capture card but no channels are coming in.  Any ideas?
[14:10] <mycosys> _Nuetron_ hav a look here - last poster has had some success under 10.10,
[14:28] <_Nuetron_> have a look where?  I just found something saying the version of the 850 I have requries kernel 2.6.37 so i'm downloading and compiling now
[14:34] <mycosys> oops lol http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1445 _Nuetron_

[14:34] <mycosys> last poster got round the 2.6.35 issue it seems, and some others
[14:35] <mycosys> "went into the \v4l directory and edited (as sudo) the .config file to search for the “firedTV=m” line and change to “firedTV=n” and then reran “sudo make” and “sudo make install” " seems to be the thing?
[14:35] <_Nuetron_> yeah I saw that one last night and tried the same steps... didn't work.
[14:36] <_Nuetron_> I'm wondering if the model he has is different than mine
[14:37] <_Nuetron_> I found on linuxtv.org "Note there is three different devices being sold under the same name "HVR-850" brand name. All three versions are supoorted, but the newest version (USB ID 2040:b140) requires kernel 2.6.37" --- I have 2040:b140.
[14:37] <mycosys> the other 2 dont have the conexant chip
[14:38] <mycosys> if you follow the 2 links on that page
[14:38] <mycosys> can you take it back? would be easier to start with something that is initially well supported
[14:39] <mycosys> i went thru all that with a couple of my early tuners, wish i had just got ones tht worked off the bat from the start
[14:39] <_Nuetron_> yeah, I could lol.. I'm going to try the latest kernel.. if that doesn't work then I'll return it.. but man this sucks lol.. plus the next one I buy, there is no real way of verifying in the store if it will work or not.
[14:40] <mycosys> but you can research before hand if others are using it with myth
[14:40] <mycosys> try the #mythtv channel  - they have GREAT tuner advice on known good tuners
[14:40] <_Nuetron_> well, I did with this one... and found ppl using it.. but I didn' tknow there were "three" versions of the same model.
[14:40] <mycosys> i would help, but i am in australia, we use DVB-T not ATSC
[14:41] <_Nuetron_> in the store I wouldn't be able to figure out which ID version of the model I'm using... I either need to break it open or plug it in and do lsusb on it ;)
[14:41] <mycosys> i know not to get the US model of the tuners i have (Asus U3100mini, DVB-T version rocks, ATSC version blows)
[14:41] <_Nuetron_> ok thanks... I might try that
[14:41] <mycosys> or just find a card that always works
[14:42] <_Nuetron_> I'm also going try looking on craigslist to see if someone is selling an older one... most likely then it's supported.
[14:42] <mycosys> i know one of the HVR series cards is highly recommended for myth, 1600 i think>
[14:42] <mycosys> ?
[14:42] <mycosys> but ask on mythtv - most of em are yanks
[14:42] <_Nuetron_> what about ATI's ? I found one for sale for 25 bucks..
[14:42] <mycosys> i think aio is specifically not supported iirc
[14:44] <_Nuetron_> ok, lemme try #mythtv - thanks
[14:44] <mycosys> there is a specific hardware wiki on mythtv.org too
[16:14] <qwebirc72995> I have just installed Mythbuntu. I have a Hauppage PVR 150 TV card installed. How do I set this card up & install drivers?
[16:17] <qwebirc72995> Pressed return before finishing. I think I've told it to add the repository at ivtv but that could be a red herring. Also I haven't a clue how to do it via the setup program..I have tried..for hours. Thanks
[16:19] <tgm4883> qwebirc72995, if you've tried for hours your doing something wrong
[16:19] <tgm4883> you don't need to add the ivtv repo either
[16:20] <tgm4883> the drivers are included
[16:20] <qwebirc72995> OK..so how do I set up the card
[16:25] <tgm4883> open mythtv-setup, you need to go though each step, at least 1-5
[16:25] <tgm4883> set the card up an an mpeg2 card

[16:27] <qwebirc72995> Ok thanks. I've been sown a lot of blind alleys
[16:27] <qwebirc72995> sorry been down a lot of blind alleys
[18:21] <qwebirc72995> Can anyone help?Going nuts here. Installed Mythbuntu 1st time. Got Hauppage 150 so drivers included. On capture card setup put card type as mpeg2 & video device /dev/video0 but then says 'failed to open' any help appreciated thanks
[18:24] <rhpot1991> qwebirc72995: thats not an mpeg2 card I think
[18:24] <rhpot1991> one of the choices should actually say pvr-xxx in the name
[18:24] <rhpot1991> you want that one
[18:27] <qwebirc72995> Hi thanks. There's no option for pvr card
[18:28] <qwebirc72995> sorry yes there is but it's an HD-PVR
[18:29] <rhpot1991> no thats not it
[18:31] <rhpot1991> you may have been correct with the mpeg2 choice then, been a while since I set up a pvr-xxx sorry
[18:31] <rhpot1991> verify its actually /dev/video0 ?
[18:34] <qwebirc72995> Tried that again but still getting  failed to open. is it always this difficult?
[18:46] <rhpot1991> qwebirc72995: ls -lah /dev/video*
[18:46] <rhpot1991> what devices does that return?
[18:47] <rhpot1991> and where exactly are you seeing the error?
[18:52] <qwebirc72995> Hi have tried  " ls -lah /dev/video* " but 'probed info' indicates "failed to open". I also get "could not open '/' to probe its inputs" from 'Default input' with everything
