No channels on Hauppauge 950Q
Today is March 30, 2014 The 950Q is a USB TV Stick. The driver loads, the firmware loads. Various software sees the device but none of them find any channels. I use an antenna for over-the-air HD television in the US. The device works on Windows but not Linux (Debian 7.3, Squeeze). I'm not a subscriber (dialup). Please CC me.

What kernel version are you using? What applications have you tested with? If you have a relatively recent version of the HVR-950q stick with a kernel older than 3.7, then you are likely to have issues with not having some required driver updates for the new tuner chip inside the unit.

If you own a Revision E1H3 device, then that kernel definitely won't work (the Rev is printed on the back of the stick above the barcode). 3.13-1-686-pae is available in Debian testing. I'll look into it. TVTime, MythTV, Mplayer, Kaffeine, and w_scan. scan would oddly leave the green signal light on when the program finished, as if it were tuned, but reporting 0 channels found. Well TVTime won't do OTA broadcasts since it's digital only. That said, the others should assuming you configured them properly. Definitely check the stick revision and try a much newer kernel. There have been a ton of fixes since 3.2 so it isn't worth even trying to debug on that kernel. Devin -- Devin J.

After upgrading the kernel to 3.13 and the firmware, I ran w_scan and it found several channels. Creating a channels.conf with w_scan and running the command mplayer dvb://ThisTV soon had my local channel up on the screen. Think I'll go kill some time now. :-) Thank you! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
