Well, i think hauppauge switched to a new hardware version - can't help you with that. I had a old version of the card that worked without problem - if the mainboard wouldn't be broken i would have kept it. But i returned the card (thought it is broken) and bought a tevii: http://www.tevii.com/Products_S470_1.asp And i'm happy with it. So i think you have either wait some time until it works with linux or send it back.

Yes, I'm also thinking about sending the card back :(. I don't want to wait until someone comes up with driver fixes. I found one other guy on a Mandriva forum with the same problem back in April 2009, with no solution since then. The TeVii S470 is out of question for me, I only have a PCI slot in my PC. Maybe the S464 would work. Does anyone on this list have experience with that card? Does it work reliably? Also with DVB-S2 channels? Thanks, Tom

Good luck!

do you have a working firmware? Here is how to get it:

Yes, I followed the same instructions on linuxtv.org. However, I don't get as far as loading any firmware. My card is not recognized in the first place.

In the meantime I installed the kernel source and as a quick and dirty hack changed the PCI device id that is "expected" in the modules to what my card says. In other words I changed the device id from 0x8800 to 0x0800 in cx88/cx88-video.c and in cx88/cx88-reg.h. After compiling and loading the modules, the card is now recognized but then tveeprom fails. (BTW, this is still before the point where firmware would be loaded.) With these changes I at least have something in dmesg:
