    Re: How to Enable Your Hauppauge 1250 tv card

    I wish I could help you beyond that, but my connection is coaxial cable to an ATSC OTA antenna...No experience hooking up a cable box to a Hauppauge HVR card, although I am connected to my cable service with a PVR-150 running 10.04.

    Sorry. If I come up with anything else, I'll let you know.

    Re: How to Enable Your Hauppauge 1250 tv card

    I followed your example and have tv on 11.10 through Me TV

    What I have noticed is the tv signal is weak 0% in Ubuntu 11.10 but not in Windows 7.

    I have picture and sound but get frequent pixelization

    any suggestions?


    During compile some of the questions had y/M/

    or y/m/n, What is the "m" selection do?

    Thank you..

    The "m" option in makeconfig is an instruction: "Compile this feature as a module, separate from the kernel." The "y" option instructs "Compile and include this feature inside of the kernel." See this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menuconfig for more information.

    The signal strength meter doesn't work at all in some of the versions of software I use.

    Sorry, I don't know why your tuner works better in Windows than in Ubuntu. Pixellation certainly indicates a weak signal source.

    The 1250 "works out of the box". Test it with Kaffeine or MeTV.
    Believe me, they are way easier to set up than Myth.
    This was the BEST advice I've seen yet. I have exactly the same card and have trying for 2 days to figure out how to get mythtv to work. With all due disrespect to the development team: **** MythTV. It is an overly complicated POS. Any time I have to search that hard to get it to work I don't want it. This was the absolutely last forum I was going to look at before putting the card back in a MS Win 7 box. I moved it because I couldn't stand the ****** hauppage software. Then I thought, man this Linux TV option just sucks ten times worse. Fortunately you had the right uncomplicated answer. Just use a program that isn't a pain in the ***. And it worked. I use over the air digital. I get a signal as good as the hauppage software.

    Thanks a great deal.

    Re: How to Enable Your Hauppauge 1250 tv card

    Hey everyone,
    So sorry to keep adding on to an older thread, but I've been fighting with this for a week or so. I'm running Pinguy which is for all intents and purposes Ubuntu 10.10. I have the 1250 (device 2259) and I've been trying to make it work. It does not show up at all in Kaffeine or in Myth, or anything else for that matter. I installed Win7 to check that the card was still alive and it is. I followed the instructions to the letter at the beginning, and i've tried every idea I've come up with.
    Anyone know any other ideas why this could still not work for me?
    It seems that there is some sort of driver issue, but I know there shouldn't be. It sees the card when I list PCI, but no program will grab it.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    -DJ

    How is the card listed in dmesg?

    Re: How to Enable Your Hauppauge 1250 tv card

    This seemed the best place to respond. Apologies if this isn't proper.

    I too can't get HVR-1250 to work with new install of MythTV v0.25/Ubuntu 12.04. Also verified that it works on Windows.

    Here's what I did to diagnose problem and don't know what to do next...
    Code:
    1. Verified TV Capture Card works on a WinXP.
    
    2. On Mythbuntu 12.04-v0.25 Fresh Install below are the commands used for diagnostic purposes:
