The system is using vmlinus 3.5.0-049. This is what Ubuntu offers with their 64 bit OS. I question if an upgrade to 3.6.37 would disable the system. At this point I'm not willing to destabilize the system just to get TV. Sounds like I need to get with the Ubuntu folks before I proceed any further.

Ops, I turnicated too much above. The missing is: [ 1.403165] usb 3-4: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd [ 1.421522] usb 3-4: New USB device found, idVendor=2040, idProduct=b140 [ 1.421527] usb 3-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 The "3-4" part is ...

Haupauge under windows has drivers, but they offer nothing for Linux. I do not think the device is flash upgradeable with firmware. I can not find what chip set it uses. It is USB 2.0 so it must convert analog to digital at the device. Surely it receives commands to change channels etc. and the like...

I have a Haupauge Win-TV (HVR-850) USB dongle. It connects to a 75 Ohm terrestrial antenna. VLC tries to connect and activates an indicator light on the device. Then times out. No workey! Under Ubuntu 12.4 64 bit. It works in Win7 with Haupauge install. In the U.S. we have digital broadcast using AT...
