PPA installation instructions for TV tuner driver on Ubuntu

Open Terminal in Ubuntu The easiest way to open terminal is to right click on desktop and select Open Terminal. You can also click Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard.

In Terminal, type the following or copy and paste the following lines, one by one, then click enter.

First, determine the version of Ubuntu you are running
To do this, run this command:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image-generic-hwe

If a line is displayed beginning with 'ii', then you are running the HWE version of Ubuntu. You will need to know if you are running HWE this in a moment when you install the mediatree.

Download the PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:b-rad/kernel+mediatree+hauppauge

After this first line, click enter when prompted to add this PPA.

sudo apt-get update

If you are running an HWE version of Ubuntu, use this command:

sudo apt-get install linux-hwe-mediatree

If you are NOT running HWE, use this command:

sudo apt-get install linux-mediatree

Note: at this point, you also need to install TV firmware if you are using one of the following TV tuners:

a Hauppauge DVB TV tuner in Europe, Australia or New Zealand (example: WinTV-soloHD, WinTV-dualHD, WinTV-quadHD, WinTV-HVR-5525, Starburst 2, etc.)
461e or WinTV-NOVA-S2
WinTV-quadHD USB for North America

To download and install Hauppauge TV tuner firmware, run this command:

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-hauppauge

Close Terminal and restart your computer.

You can now connect your Hauppauge WinTV TV tuner to your computer and it should be available for use by your Linux TV watching application.

Some NAS drives have support for Hauppauge TV tuners. While currently the WD NAS has the best Hauppauge TV tuner support, coming is support for Synology and the QNAP TS-235.

WD NAD drives

Instructions:

Plug your Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD, WinTV-HVR-955Q or WinTV-HVR-935C into the back of a WD NAS drive (see list below for tested drives).
Go to the WD app store and install 'TV/Media Device Drivers' on the WD NAS.
You will need to install the Plex server, Emby or TVHeadend on the NAS drive too.
On your client computer (examples: Windows PC, AppleTV, AndroidTV, Roku), you will need a TV watching application. If you have installed the Plex server on the NAS, you can use Plex on your Windows or Linux computer which is networked to the WD NAS drive.

The WinTV-dualHD drivers come with the latest Raspbian OS, so all you need to do is plug your WinTV-dualHD into your RPi 3 or 4, install a TV application like Kaffeine, connect an antenna and scan for channels.

Firmware is needed for some Hauppauge TV tuners

Some Hauppauge TV tuners need additional firmware to be install on your Raspberry Pi. Here are the command lines to add Hauppauge firmware for those tuners which need it. You can load the firmware at any time, but it needs to be installed before you use the TV tuner.

Firmware install instructions for the WinTV-dualHD and WinTV-soloHD (European or Australia/New Zealand DVB only)

cd /tmp
wget https://www.hauppauge.com/linux/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw
md5sum dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw # verify first couple and last couple chars match b267...8f6e
sudo cp dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw /lib/firmware

Firmware install instructions for the WinTV-Nova-S2 or 461e (revision B7H9/B8H9):

cd /tmp
wget https://www.hauppauge.com/linux/dvb-demod-m88ds3103b.fw
