Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-900H

A USB 2.0 DVB-T device by Hauppauge.

Miscellaneous Information

This appears to be a new version replacing the WinTV-HVR-900. Model number is 66009, and USB id 2040:6600.

WARNING: Recent WinTV-HVR-900 packages have actually included this instead of the original non-H version. As HVR-900H is based on different chips, there was no (experimental) support for it (as of June 2008).

Update: June 2013

Analogue TV on HVR-900H now works out of the box with Mythbuntu and Linux Mint. Steps:

• Boot the live cd
• Download xc3028L-v36.fw and copy it to /lib/firmware
• Plug in the HVR-900H
• Start VLC player (needs downloading in mint)
• Select Media-Open Capture Device
• Select the video device name and under Advanced Options manually enter the freq of a TV channel (in hertz)
• Click Play

Based on:

• Trident’s TM6010, a USB AV decoder

There is another new version where the model number is 111xxx

No support: There is also another version with model number 357 and USB id 2040:b138. "You need much more than just a board profile. The DVB-T demodulator in that device currently has no driver support under Linux. Hence, unless you are prepared to write a brand new driver for that DVB-T demod, adding a board profile won't be of much help."

Also packaged as the HVR 900 has the Conexant Polaris and Si2161 chips
