This tutorial show how to use the Hauppauge WinTV Ministick for DVB-T TV. I will also show how to use the remote control with lirc.

Installation

Kernel

You need USB and Evdev support.

        <M>   Enable IR raw decoder for the RC-5 protocol

Firmware

The firmware is included in the sys-kernel/linux-firmware package from version 20150206.

Check Kernel Configuration

When you have compiled the needed modules and the firmware was correct loaded so you see something like the output here from my dmesg.

FILE /var/log/dmesg

To check the event devices you can use the lsinput tool out of the sys-apps/input-utils package.

Important
Later when we create or own InputClass and set the Ignore stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. For this we use the eventX name and that string is limited. So we can't use the full string of the device name as shown in dmesg output. For the lirc daemon device path we use a syntax that allow us later to plug the stick where we want on the usb bus.

Setting up TV with VLC

To use the dvb device you have to be member of the video group:

root #usermod -a -G video username

Scan for Channels

The scan utility is comming with the media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps package. The next step is to find the correct initial-tuning file for your location.

user $scan -x 0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/de-Saarland > channels.conf

Using Teletext

Using the teletext function in vlc is pretty easy. Compile media-video/vlc with zvbi useflag and it works like a sharm. Start VLC and load the channels.conf file, open a channel and you should see a button for teletext on the OSD.

EPG

VLC also knows to handle EPG data. You find the Programm Guide under Extras. The problem is that VLC can only handle the current channel, other programms like me-tv get the data from all channels.

Load the keymap at boot

Install media-tv/v4l-utils to get ir-keytable.

Option1: With udev over /etc/rc_maps.cfg

Normally it should be enough to add CONFIG_RC_MAP support in your kernel. This point I already added to the kernel installation section of this howto.

Important
Testing it for gentoo. At time I only use it with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and 12.10.

The trigger to load our new IR keymap comes from udev when the CONFIG_RC_MAP support is enabled.

FILE /lib/udev/rules.d/40-ir-keytable.rules
# Automatically load the proper keymaps after the Remote Controller device
# creation.
# The keycode tables rules should be at /etc/rc_maps.cfg

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="rc", RUN+="/usr/bin/ir-keytable -a /etc/rc_maps.cfg -s $name"

Here we simply add or edit the rc-hauppauge line as shown in the box below.

FILE /etc/rc_maps.conf
*       rc-hauppauge             /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/hauppauge

Replace /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/hauppauge with /etc/rc_keymaps/hauppauge_novaTD.

Option2: Manual with /etc/local.d/ir-keytable.start

Note
Do not add the lircd to default runlevel. The daemon will started through the /etc/local.d/ir-keytable.start script. And also note that the script need the executable flag chmod u+x /etc/local.d/ir-keytable.start
FILE /etc/local.d/ir-keytable.start
ir-keytable -c --protocol=rc-5 -w /etc/rc_keymaps/hauppauge_novaTD
ir-keytable --delay=500
ir-keytable --period=50
/etc/init.d/lircd start

Xorg

Ignore the remote control devices in Xorg.

Note
If you plan to use the MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse you need to remove the MCE string from MatchProduct
FILE /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"Ignore Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick IR Devices"
	MatchProduct	"SMS IR (Hauppauge WinTV MiniStic|MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (smsmdtv)"
