Cc'ing linux-media back in.

I'm not aware of any US cable provider that the HVR2255 cannot
tune/demodulate. I'd be highly surprised if your HVR2255 isn't
delivering packets, unless its faulty.

However, depending on your provider, those multiplexes may only
contain encrypted tv channels - not watchable by you. I have a handful
of channels from my provider that are watchable. 300+ are fully
encrypted the data delivered by the card isn't that useful, for
encrypted channels.

I suggest you share the output from your scan tests with the mailing
list and see if anyone can help.

That's not going to work. You need to pull tip, compile and install it
for HVR2255 support.

No amount of specifying card=X on the module load fixes these kinds of issues.

RE: Hauppauge 2250 on Ubuntu 15.04

2015-06-10 Thread Jake Hawkins
We've had a dozen or two of these cards through our lab and the labels on the 
card aren't 100% reliable; we've seen both HVR-2250 labelled as HVR-2255 and 
vice versa.

Hi Jeff,

Based on the PCI subsystem ID I think your card is actually HVR-2255 and not 
the older HVR-2250. Check what it says on the card. Some people have reported 
buying a HVR-2250, but receiving actually a HVR-2255.

Anyway, HVR-2255 is supported by the media_tree these days, but you need to 
build the driver yourself before kernel 4.2 is out. Follow the steps here to do 
that:
