Plug and Play for Video

Inspired by the instructions on this page, I purchased this card yesterday, and setup was a breeze. No need to download/compile/edit for hours, I just removed my PVR-250, installed the HVR-1600 (74041), and when it booted, all the modules, etc. were loaded. Thanks MythTV/Mythbuntu teams! Running Mythbuntu 8.10.

Setting up the remote was a bit of a pain. I used the guide here. For the remote type, select Hauppauge_350 if you are given the opportunity. Pcbgcode 22:02, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Latest Drivers

If you do not mind compiling drivers for you kernel then the latest drivers from ivtvdriver. Then you can expect a reasonable experience in MythTv for recording and watching LiveTV. The one caveat is that sound is quite a bit softer than you would get on the more well supported Hauppauge cards like the PVR-150 Hoodlum 07:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

if you have a Nvida card you will probably need to add "vmalloc=256MB" to end of you Kernel boot line in Grub per Nvidia http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/2_3/toolkit/docs/cudatoolkit_release_notes_linux.txt

Analog Video

Analog video seems to work ok. I'm going to try and help with testing ATSC support (We have several channels in my area, and it looks really good in Windows.

So far in analog, recording and Live TV seem to work ok. Vsnine 16:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Unknown symbol v4l_compat_ioctl32

I found this error message in dmesg after running modprobe cx18 on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1,

[  274.303329] cx18: disagrees about version of symbol v4l_compat_ioctl32
[  274.303338] cx18: Unknown symbol v4l_compat_ioctl32

The solution was to remove the compat_ioctl32 module and force the use of v4l_compat_ioctl32. I hackily added this to /etc/modules,

compat_ioctl32 -r
v4l2-compat-ioctl32
