Hauppauge 1265 support

[loki008]

A little over a year ago I purchased a pair of Hauppauge 1250 cards. Instead packaged inside were 1265 cards. I didnt give it much thought and at the time I was running Kodi on top of Windows because I was trying to get Amazon VOD to work. At this point I have decided to give up on that goal and now with windows 10 not playing well the Wife Acceptance Factor is going downhill quick. So with that said I have decided to give openelec a shot and created a bootable USB drive. However the issue I am having is that the tuners are not showing up in Openelec.

I assume that this is a known issue and the issue is that Hauppauge just doesnt have drivers available for linux? If this is the case I am a bit annoyed at the bait and switch on Hauppauge's part by repackaging a new product in the existing sku / packaging. If this is not the case, I have attached my PCI devices below.

In the event that these tuners just wont work, can anyone recommend tuners that work well with openelec that would fit in a half height PCI slot. In the past I tried a SiliconDust HDHR however the signal quality sucked. Their support basically told me there was nothing wrong and I just was getting poor signal. I then switched to the Hauppauge cards and its been amazing. The signal quality and strength has been nearly flawless and it takes quite a strong storm to even get any blocking or artifacts on OTA TV. This is a major concern if I swap tuners.

thanks

Hi,

I bet this card is very similar to HVR-2205, just with one tuner. Developing the Linux driver would likely be simple as HVR-2205 is already supported (I did some work for that driver as well).

The development without the actual card or remote access to a Linux system with the card is difficult though.
