Hello. I recently purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR external TV card. |
| 2 |
I'm trying to get it to work with Gentoo Linux. I think I've followed |
| 3 |
the steps found at |
| 4 |
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1900 correctly, |
| 5 |
but I'm still getting errors. When I plug the TV card into the USB slot |
| 6 |
in the back of the computer and search dmesg, it says: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
michael@carter /lib/firmware $ dmesg | grep pvrusb2 |
| 9 |

I've emerged linuxtv-dvb-firmware and reissued the above command with no |
| 36 |
change. How do I get Gentoo to recognize this card? |
