Getting Hauppauge HVR-1110 to work with Gentoo
This one was a little tricky cause Hauppauge labels the card as HVR-1100 but it has changed internally so it doesn’t work with usual cx88 driver, now it does so with saa7134_dvb. Also Linux kernel has support for it but not for its remote controller, luckily LinuxTV Project recently got it.
As usual, Gentoo made my life easier providing me with the portage I just needed to get latest LinuxTV drivers, it’s called media-tv/v4l-dvb-hg. I have a 2.6.19-gentoo-r1 kernel compiled without any v4l or DVB related driver so every module I needed at its latest version.
After having everything working I realized I needed a lircd.conf to get my remote codes known by lircd, this was more tedious than difficult because I had to launch irrecord and press all the buttons on the remote assigning them a more human-readable label. (get lircd.conf for HVR1110)
I also had to recompile lircd because I was using hauppauge driver but now I needed devinput as the remote is detected as an input device (/dev/input/eventX). So I replace the driver on LIRC_DEVICES variable and modified /etc/conf.d/lircd to look like this:
LIRCD_OPTS="-H dev/input -d /dev/input/event1"
Hmm and I think that’s everything…card working with MPlayer, MythTV, etc so everything as it was but now I’m able to watch DVB-T TV
