The Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1500 expresscard was also sold rebranded by HP.

This card works just fine on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and suSe 11.1 with a single patch to the v4l code. It will probably work on other distros as well, but this needs to be verified.

You must download the v4l sources, verify that you either have the patch in the downloaded version or do the patch, and recompile.

Description of patch is at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/cx23885-hvr1500/rev/7853c00870e1

The indicator light will not come on under linux, but the card operates perfectly otherwise. You may even discover you can tune in weak signals that you could not under windows.

More details to be added here as time permits.
