I’m running Suse 11.1 and would like to get a TV card. I was hoping to get this one:
WinTV-HVR-2250 Product overview
I’ve seen various posts on mythtv and ub*ntu sites where people had moderate success, but nothing concrete. I also found these:
steventoth.net » HVR-2250
Is there a status for the HVR-2250 Linux driver? - MythTV Community Forum - MythTV talk.com
So I know there are ventures to making it work.
Does anyone have this working in Suse 11.1? Or does it work right now?
Thanks!
I recently purchased the Hauppauge HVR 2250, and found this documentation to make it work:
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200 - LinuxTVWiki
I followed the steps, and got no errors.
The relevant dmesg output when I boot:
But when I run kdetv, I don’t seem to have any valid device.
But if I go to the ‘video’ settings of kdetv, I see:
Video4Linux2 Plugin

XVideo Plugin
all are checked

I tried to go into yast and add a TV Card, but couldn’t find the model. Closest (I thought) was the Hauppage WinTV-HVR1300 DVB-T/Hybrid with a dual hybrid tuner. But this didn’t seem to work either.
If anyone has any ideas, I’d greatly appreciate it!
I really don’t want to boot over to Windows to watch TV.
Thanks!
Hi,
I’m new to this forum and so as a Linux user as well, I wanted to move from windows to Linux for a long time but the only think that kept me doing it is my tv card. I have a Hauppauge HVR-2255 PCIe cards that work flawlessly in Windows but I can’t seems to get it to work in openSUSE. Does anybody on this forum know how to make it work? Your help would be greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Michel
Well since this this is 6 years old. I suggest you start a new thread and tell use what error(s) you get or what you have tried.
