Installation

The drivers for Hauppage PVR-150 is not installed with the Ubuntu kernel so we need to compile and install them manually as follows.

  • 1. sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc-3.4 tcsh
  • 2. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
  • 3. Replace xxx with your username and run: sudo addgroup xxx src
  • 4. Logout and login again
  • 5. cd /usr/src
  • 6. umask 0002
  • 7. wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/archive/0.4.x/ivtv-0.4.6.tar.gz
  • 8. tar xvzf ivtv-0.4.6.tar.gz
  • 9. cd ivtv-0.4.6
  • 10. make
  • 11. sudo make install
  • 12. If any conflicts occur during make install, follow the instructions and run make install again.
  • 13. Install the firmware as follows: 
cd utils
wget ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr_150-500/inf/pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip
wget ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr_250-350/inf/pvr_1.18.21.22301_inf.zip
unzip pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip 
sudo ./ivtvfwextract.pl pvr_1.18.21.22301_inf.zip
sudo cp HcwMakoA.ROM /lib/firmware/v4l-cx25840.fw
sudo cp HcwFalcn.rom /lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
sudo mv /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-dec.bin /lib/firmware/
sudo mv /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin /lib/firmware/
sudo cp ../v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg /lib/firmware/
sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/ivtv-fw-dec.bin /lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw
  • 14. Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases:
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
  • 15. sudo depmod
  • 16. sudo modprobe ivtv
  • 17. dmesg (The end of output should look something like the following)

  • 18. Add the following line to /etc/modules 
ivtv

Verification

If no errors occured you should now have a working PVR-150, to verify it do as follows:

  • 1. Make sure you have mplayer installed, if not install it. In my case this ment running:
sudo apt-get install mplayer-amd64
  • 2. mplayer -vo xv /dev/video1 (Note that if you don’t have any other TV-card your PVR-150 can be installed on /dev/video0)
  • 3. In another window run the following to list available channels:
ivtv-tune -t europe-west -l
  • 4. Run the following with different values on the -c parameter until you get someting else than noise:
ivtv-tune -t europe-west -c SE11 -d /dev/video1
