wintv-hvr-1250 setup?

Hi,

I recently acquired a Hauppauge wintv-hvr-1250 PCIe ATSC tuner card and have compiled/installed the latest v4l-dvb drivers ok.

(BTW, I'm using an ABIT AN-M2HD motherboard with an AMD 4000+ cpu)

I'm not sure which modules are required, but when I load the cx23885 module (via /sbin/modprobe cx23885), I get an error on the tveeprom header. dmesg reports:

CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 0070:7911, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1250 [card=3,autodetected]

0xfce00000
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64

I'm concerned about the tveeprom message -- are there any other modules I need to load for this board? Is there any firmware I'm missing?

Thanks,
Henry

Don't worry about the tveeprom error message -- we know why it is happening, and a fix will probably be committed for it relatively soon.

For your card, the error has absolutely no influence on the operation of the device. The linux driver currently only supports ATSC / QAM digital tv on your board, you do not need any firmware for this functionality.

Regards,

Mike
