Hello,
has anyone managed to get the Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 card to work with SUSE 9.3? Especially, on an Athlon64 system. YAST did not work, but after googling I managed to install firmware by extracting it from the supplied windows drivers. Now ivtv detects my card and loads the firmware. However, there seems to be something wrong with my /dev/vbi* files.
When I start kdetv, it ends with:
kdetv: WARNING: VBIDecoder: vbi_capture_v4l_new error: Sorry, /dev/vbi4 (Vanilla iTVC15 card) cannot capture any of the requested data services. kdetv: WARNING: [VBIDecoder::restart()] no permission to access device kdetv: WARNING: MainWindow::setupInfraRed(): Lirc not available kdetv: WARNING: SaverControl: Error in DCOP communication. Unable to disable KDE Screensaver. kdetv: WARNING: ... failed. kdetv likely does not to work with your device and/or your current filter config.
And if I run scantv it looks like this:

What is /dev/vbi, and why does it not work?
Thanks, Claes
I know from the linux-dvb mailing list it works, best trying to google for that list. Also check out http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Main_Page Do you have /dev/dvb/ and stuff under it? I'm not sure if this is the analog card...... http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg15538.html Regards Sid -- Sid Boyce ...
