Linux and Hauppauge WinTV

Posted by sabba

Tested with Hauppauge WinTV Mini Stick HD

As root copy the firmware in /lib/firmware

root@myhost # cp sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw /lib/firmware

Create a dvb channel file using w_scan utility (for Italy in this example):

user@myhost# w_scan -X -P -t 2 -E 0 -c IT > dvb-channels.conf

(if you don’t have w_scan utilty, you can download it from edafe.orgĀ  site)

Finally, open the generated dvb-channel.conf with VLC
