Users / Re: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000HD and WinTV-NOVA-T-500-HD working in Linux?
« on: May 17, 2010, 05:39:32 pm »Regarding NOVA-TD-500s, take a look at this thread http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=5593.0
Does anybody know if that pesky USB disconnect problem got sorted? Or is it still an issue?
Doomed, thought this card was plug and play for LinuxMCE.
Still the article at LINUX TV is ending with this:

2008-06-16 - Today, using an up-to-date Ubuntu 8.04 x64, a recent V4L-DVB tree, the MythTV tuning and EIT settings and the provided remote receiver, this card is absolutely rock solid with no USB disconnects, no tuner lost or any other trouble. The few MythTV tweaks are an slight annoyance, but they are worth it. This card is a great DVB-T solution!
But it is old from 16.6.2008. Your forum discussion is from april 2009. Anything happening in the last year, anyone?
I can still return this card to the dealer and get my mony refounded. But I only have this week to do that before the timeframe goes out....

68109 Model; This card was released in very low volumes, probably only in the UK, and is not supported in Linux. Hauppauge has been swapping these units for Linux users; call Hauppauge customer services. There is no new stock of this card (end of life components) and it has now been replaced by the 84109 Model Nova-TD 500 which works fine in Linux.
My model nr is the latter; 84109 LF Rev D3F4 Nova-TD-500. This is stampet on the card.

We dont have a device template for the T500... cue Thom to give me a 'bashing' for not having one ;-)
...but we do have it working very well using our V4l package (PM me if any of you would like a copy...its DKMS based so will work correctly on 0710 or 0810...or indeed 0910 too ;-) )...and reliably in Myth now. The only issue we see is that if we reboot the T500's do not get in initialised properly from a 'warm' firmware boot. The solution is to do a shutdown, remove the power for 15 secs or so, then powerup and all is well. This is an irritation but compared to before when the T500 was so unstable it was unusable its very acceptable!
All the best for Xmas and for the new year too!

Purps, looks like the support is better, but still with some issues...
