analog support for WinTV-HVR-900H/930C-HD

analog support for WinTV-HVR-900H/930C-HD

[Sven Verdoolaege]

Hi,

I hope this is the right place for asking about support
for analog TV on Hauppauge cards.

I recently bought what I thought is a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-900H
(that's what it says on the stick itself) because according
to https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-900H
analog TV should work on those sticks.
However, the stick is identified as a
"Hauppauge WinTV 930C-HD (1114xx) / HVR-901H (1114xx) / PCTV QuatroStick 522e"
instead and it seems that there is no support for analog TV
for this device (yet?).

In particular, when I try to run tvtime, I get
videoinput: Can't get tuner info: Inappropriate ioctl for device
videoinput: Can't set tuner audio mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
videoinput: Can't get tuner info: Inappropriate ioctl for device
videoinput: Can't set tuner audio mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
videoinput: Tuner present, but our request to change to
videoinput: frequency 62250 failed with this error: Inappropriate ioctl for device.
videoinput: Please file a bug report at http://tvtime.net/
videoinput: Tuner refuses to tell us the current frequency: Inappropriate ioctl for device
videoinput: Please file a bug report at http://tvtime.net/

Is anyone working on support for such devices?
Or does it already work and am I doing something wrong?

I'm pasting the relevant dmesg output below.
Kernel version is 4.4.0-83-generic #106-Ubuntu.

Thanks,

skimo

Your stick is labeled as WinTV-HVR-900H but you got a different hardware
than described by the wiki page mentioned above.

According to your dmesg output your card has USB IDs: 2013:025e and that
is the same ID as used for PCTV 522e DVB-T/C (Si2158+Si2165)

The output shows that the chips si2158 and si2165 are successfully
identified.

The driver for the tuner (si2157) does currently not support analog
reception. I do not know what is necessary to add this support.

Maybe Antti or Olli can answer that question.
