Comment 178 for bug 439163

I have a HVR4000 and 2.6.38-8-generic linux kernel.

I could successfully build the v4-dvb drivers by abandoned the hg checkout and moved to git. The page, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR#HD-PVR_Driver_Compilation_Howto has a good description how to do it.

    git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
    cd media_build
    ./check_needs.pl
    make -C linux/ download
    make -C linux/ untar
    make stagingconfig
    make
    sudo make install

....and the best part was that after applying Devin Heitmueller's patch my tv-card was able to find channels during scan.

That made my day,
Lars
