[arch-general] wintv-hvr 850 (hybrid) not detecting any signal.
Hi,
I'm not able to get my wintv-hvr 850 to work. It fails to find signal in both x86-32 and x86-64 machines...
Some of the things I get (dmesg):

Any hints? I don't have ms-windows machine, but I asked a guy to try the usb device with the proprietary CD that came with it, and it worked out out of the box (what a surprise for these things thought for ms-windows only), so the device is working nice.
I would really appreciate any help you can provide. BTW:
core/linux 3.0.4-1 (base) [installed] The Linux Kernel and modules
extra/v4l-utils 0.8.5-1 [installed] Userspace tools and conversion library for Video 4 Linux
community/linuxtv-dvb-apps 1.1.1-4 [installed] Viewer programs for DVB cards
community/tvtime 1.0.2-2 [installed] A high quality television application for use with video capture cards
I've tried channels scan with scantv, tvtime and tvtime-scanner. Neither detect a thing, :-(
Thanks,
So, no one with experience on arch with this usb device?
Thanks,
Javier.

Any hints? I don't have ms-windows machine, but I asked a guy to try the usb device with the proprietary CD that came with it, and it worked out out of the box (what a surprise for these things thought for ms-windows only), so the device is working nice.
I would really appreciate any help you can provide. BTW:
core/linux 3.0.4-1 (base) [installed] The Linux Kernel and modules
extra/v4l-utils 0.8.5-1 [installed] Userspace tools and conversion library for Video 4 Linux

I've tried channels scan with scantv, tvtime and tvtime-scanner. Neither detect a thing, :-(
Thanks,

So, no one with experience on arch with this usb device?
Thanks,
Javier.
Hi Javier,
I used to use wintv-hvr 950 a year or two ago - it worked fine. Will try find those old configs and run it again with the recent kernel etc. (Not sure if 850 and 950 similar though).
I'let you know the results.

Thanks a lot, that'll be of great help.
BTW, they used to need different drivers:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-850 http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-950
But nowadays I don't know... The dirvers selected by udev + kernel seem to be the right ones (I've tried several things like combining them with the ones mentioned in the above links, and blacklisting them), since without them the gadget doesn't even turn on, but they just don't work, :-)
Again, any help is appreciated...
Thanks,

They are indeed different, mine has xc2028 chip, while yours - cx231xx, the dmesg file is attached.
Mine could not catch any signal (although did not show any error) until I installed the firmware. I've found it in aur (xc3028-fw 27-1), you can see the corresponding line in dmesg:
xc2028 16-0061: Loading 80 firmware images from xc3028-v27.fw, type: xc2028 firmware, ver 2.7
I believe you need to install fw for your device as well from:
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/ (v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw)
After that everything is straight forward, you can run w_scan (from aur) to create the cahnnel list, put it in /etc/mplayer/channels.conf (if you use mplayer - I never used tvtime) and run "mplayer dvb://".

Hi Sergev, and thanks again for the help.
See, I didn't think I had to download firmware, since I had it already. As far as I can tell:
% ls /lib/firmware/v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw /lib/firmware/v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw
Any ways I downloaded the one you pointed out and made a diff, and it to my surprise differed from the one I had. So I moved to old and place downloaded one, and tried again, but it didn't work, :-(
See from my first post (with dmesg copied), you can notice that the firmware was loaded:
+++++++ [ 143.911324] cx231xx #0: cx231xx_dif_set_standard: setStandard to ffffffff [ 143.933691] cx25840 3-0044: cx23102 A/V decoder found @ 0x88 (cx231xx #0) [ 143.951787] cx25840 3-0044: Firmware download size changed to 16 bytes max length [ 145.954902] cx25840 3-0044: loaded v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw firmware (16382 bytes) +++++++
So I'm not sure it's a FW issue. Any ways, I hoped it was...
Any other thing you might think of, even involving FW, it'll be welcome...
Thanks,

Forgot to ask: are talking about digital or analog channels?
I've tried tvtime, but I couldn't catch any digital channel (maybe I'm missing something - never used tvtime before). However, mplayer works fine with both analog/digital. Have you tried mplayer?
I don't have much time to investigate until weekend, will report back later.

I'm looking for analog (whether broadcast ntsc in Costa Rica or cable), though we also have one digital transmitter which should also work (it does on windows)...
None seems to work. I've used tvtime and xawtv. I haven't tried with mplayer command line (which is the best way to enable options), only through gnome-mplayer, and with gnome-mplayer I didn't know how to traverse channels, so I couldn't tell...
Thanks,
