How to get work DVB T2 Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-935HD

Sun Oct 28, 2018 9:11 pm

Hi,
can someone help me, how to get the dual DVBT2 card to work on RPI3?

lsusb
ID 2040:b151 Hauppauge

I have found how to compile drivers for Ubuntu, but not for Raspbian.
http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/ ... x.html#ppa

There should be drivers:
https://github.com/b-rad-NDi/Ubuntu-med ... el-builder

In my case, I need to make these steps (download kernel 4.15)
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... uilding.md

then apply these patches?
https://github.com/b-rad-NDi/Ubuntu-med ... nic-4.15.0

How? Download them (where) and like this page says?
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... atching.md

cat 0001-Linuxtv.org-media-tree-sync-2018-04-30-04-20.patch | patch -p1
....
....
and thats all? No extra configuration?


Thanks for advice.

I just wrote a post that should help you a bit, but it has not been approved yet.... depending on what your hardware is composed of. What is the output from dmesg?

Solution easier than you might think, the next raspbian release will have out of the box support for this tuner (except firmware if needed).

https://github.com/b-rad-NDi/Ubuntu-med ... -435699342

Instructions for RPI3
Start without your USB tuner attached and use a recent updated raspbian image and update your kernel to 4.19 with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
sudo BRANCH=next rpi-update #use capitals since command is case sensitive!

sudo apt-get -y install tvheadend #available in raspbian repo since DVB-t2 HAT ;-)

sudo reboot
#After finishing reboot type
dmesg
#insert your usb tuner
dmesg
#notice any thing about missing firmware.fw, google your firmware and download it
wget http://someadress/examplefirmware.fw
sudo cp examplefirmware.fw /lib/firmware/
sudo reboot

#enjoy your mainline hauppauge linux driver!

Im having a problem with this tuner, I think it is FW releated.

It works fine with TVheadend but i do not get any HD chanels only the SD ones and the radio.

Any ideas? - i dont know if there would be a different FW i need to use to the one it recommended when i used dmesg

Im using a Rasbeerypi 4 2GB - With Raspbian.

Hello,

Give a try to Kaffeine, no ?
It works well for me with DVB TV pHAT and with Cynergy T-Stick+ Black (USB)

I'll begin by admitting that i know nothing about your device for tuning in TV signals. I assume that you need to download from your local transmitter. The ones that are stored on the Pi date back to about 2013 and do not include HD channels. You need to find a more modern version. Look at https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/log and get more up to date transmiiter details. You should see about 15 Hd channels including two of my favourites, the Smithsonian Channel and PBS America. From that you can make a channels.conf file. You can play these HD channels through VLC. This is what you need to enter for PBS America. You will need to look up the channel details for your local transmitter :
vlc dvb-t2://frequency=754000000:bandwidth=8 :program=45360 (figures for the Sutton Coldfield transmitter)
The space between 8 and the colon in front of program=45360 i.e. "bandwidth=8 :program=45360" is critical. On my SD card I have stopped using tvheadend because it interfered with my attempts to find other ways of tuning in TV and radio channels.

Try installing firmware:

Code: Select all

wget http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/Si2168/Si2168-B40/4.0.25/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw
sudo mv dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw /lib/firmware
sudo reboot
This works on two other dvb-t2 models of Hauppauge tuners so good chance it works with yours. Otherwise, getting SD channels but no HD channels could be a poor reception issue
