I have now made a list of my old VHS tapes that I want to keep, thrown
lots away, indexed the remainder and made labels for each subject, so
after all this long time I now need something to work!

I realize the HVR should work but whatever I try it doesn't. I also
bought an EasyCap stick that I have trouble with getting that audio
from, so I will now have one last go at just getting the 1100 to work!
The PCI board is the rectangular one and has the following details:

WinTV HVR - 1100
94500 Rev C2AO LF
DVB-T PAL B/G I +D/K +Secam
FM Radio
I think it also has an analogue tuner
Board dated 2005.

Fitted with conexant Chips CX23882-19 Decoder and CX22702-25 DVB-T 2k/8k

Connections:

FM and TV aerials
S-Video in
Comp video in
Audio L & R
(No R/C)

There is also a 10 pin plug on the board!?

To summarize recent history!:

The board is recognized and seems to load modules, when running
Kaffeine the "sources" show up but when I try to scan channels it says
"No device Found". Yet on the "Configure TV" window there is a device
"Conexant CX22702 DVB-T".

I have just noticed that the scan list no longer has UK transmitters so
I set it to auto scan and it now reports "No available device found"!

As all I need are the inputs from my old recorder and not the DVB-T how
do I get at those, I can see the card on Pulse Audio Volume control and
it looks like noise on the audion with the tape playing?

Must I only use Alsa for this audio or should I try VLC just to see if I
can get Audio from it?

On the "devices" window I do have "CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio
Decoder [Audio Port] Analog Stereo, but I am not sure what to do to get
an output!

For completeness, Shane's comment on the following:

[ 8.723745] cx88[0]: warning: unknown hauppauge model #94500

I found some information that this is reported when there is no valid
"Channel.conf" but I thought I did have one.


I do think this board should work but not sure how!

Regards
