0.22 and HVR-4000

Has anyone got DVB-T +/- DVB-S working from this card on 0.22, preferably on mythbuntu 9.10?

On a clean 9.10 install I find it scans, signal strength levels vary seemingly appropriately however it fails to lock with messages
"Timed out, no signal" finally coming up with "Failed to find any channels". I've maxed out the delay to 2000 as for the 500T,
still no help.

I have one of these but I am still using 9.04. I found that I had to scan by
entering the frequencies and other values rather than doing a full scan for
it to work.

Yes, I have got it working, there is an issue with the v4l kernel drivers, see this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/439163

The process I followed to get it working was (Posted by Gunni on the bug page):

1. sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial linux-headers
2. hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-fixes/
3. cd v4l-dvb-fixes
4. make menuconfig
-> Multimedia Support -> DVB/ATSC adapters -> disable FireDTV and FloppyDTV
This is nesecary for a build, as linux-headers is missing some files needed for this DVB card.
5. make
6. sudo make install
7. reboot

Cheers
Francois
