When I run the TV card configure option in the Mandrake control panel, when it gets to the point of scanning for channels it dies. It flashes "/dev/video0 No such device" or similiar, it goes very fast.

I tried google, does anyone have a good installation guide for the Hauppauge PVR series?

sounds like you dont have the module loaded, the module for my hauppage card was bttv, not sure what yours is but chances are its the same.

I had to apply the patch from Mandrake before I could get my tv card to work.
Get it hear. (http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3#draktv)

I know its not bttv, because this is a hardware encoder/decoder. Its the Hauppauge PVR-350: iTVC15 MPEG Coder.

Well, I applied the patch. And now its not detected at all in the drake tv app. Its still listed in hardware though.

Still looking for a solution to this. Anyone else have any experience with installing a Hauppauge PVR-350 in Mandrake 10?

I installed the patch from here: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3#draktv and as you see above, it only made it worse.

How do I remove this patch?

snip
Error scenario: TV card is not detected in drakconf.
Why: A bug prevents drakxtv from detecting it.
Solution: Apply the following Patch as root by executing:

# cd /usr/sbin
# patch -p0 < /path/to/downloaded/drakxtv.patch

The Hauppauge card with the hardware encoder uses the ivtv driver. It's still alpha, but the 0.1.9 version I use seems to work OK on my PVR-250 card. I think the latest is 0.1.10.

You can get it here.

http://ivtv.sourceforge.net

The documentation is sketchy, but the FAQ is pretty good. The following link will take you to the instructions that I followed (which worked) ...

http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=1#q13

Since it doesn't use the bttv driver, a lot of the V4L software doesn't work with this card. I think MythTV does, though that's not what I use. I'm pretty sure xawtv does not support it.

I made my own recording and watching scripts, since there didn't seem to be a lot of support for these cards yet.

good luck ...
