Overview/Features

There are three versions of this device.

  • The first is essentially the older WinTV-HVR-950 model. Running lsusb -v will show the manufacturer:device code of 2040:651f.
  • The second version is essentially a WinTV-HVR-950Q. Running lsusb -v will show the manufacturer:device code of 2040:7240.
  • The third version is unique, model 1200 (Bought from Frys or Amazon). Running lsusb -v will show the manufacturer:device code of 2040:b140. Useful information for this version can be found on the discussion page. It has a known issue with the demodulator jamming the i2c bus. This can be worked around but not in analog mode.

Evidently, this device does not like USB 1.1 slots (see the discussion page).

Firmware

In order to use the LinuxTV driver, you need to download and install the firmware for the xc5000.

Note: Though the usual directory location in which the firmware file is placed is /lib/firmware, this may differ in the case of some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location.

Drivers

Free icons for windows 10. The xc5000 driver needed for this WinTV-HVR-850 is already part of the latest Linux kernel (part of v4l-dvb drivers).

Analog support was merged into the mainline v4l-dvb tree on March 18, 2009.
