Hauppauge PVR-150 and PVR-500-MCE support

[earithramir]

Hi There,

Currently im reinstalling a media ceneter HTPC for my grandparents.
Everything is looking great except for the TV tuner cards.
I can not seem to get them working in OpenElec.
I also had XBMCbuntu installed but prefer Openelec over ubuntu.

Can someone tell me how to add hardware support and install the approperiat drivers/firmware for it.


Hardware:
Intel Core 2 Duo e8400
Intel chipset
4096MB DDR3 1333Mhz
SSD (system drive) S-ATA3
1TB drive for TV-recordings IDE.
Sony NEC DVD-RW IDE
nVidia Graphics card.

Thanks in advance!

No tuners are shown in TvHeadend

[grillz]

A dmesg log would be helpful. command:
dmesg | pastebinit

Do you have "wait for frontend initialization" checked? http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/OpenEL...oo_quickly

[earithramir]

dMesg only showed an entry for the HB-2020 dual tuner card and that the firmware was not loaded becuase the card was not supported by it.
I've grep'ed through it but could not find ivtv, hauppauge or anything other that was providing information about the cards.
Tested the 'waiting for frontend' with 1,2,3 and 4 tuner settings. But the firmware is not loaded but that is what LSPCI -v told us.

Will test another time again with this hardware. But have to return the HTPC to my grandparents now installed a temporaily xbmcbuntu so that they can use it untill i find a solution for this and install openEelec on it.

Also tried downloading ivtv firmware (*.fw) files and copying them to /storage/.config/firmware (or something like that if i remember correctly) this did not help still no firmware was loaded; no changes in dmesg and/or lspci -v

Thanks for replying though!
