Hi,
I got the HVR 950q working under Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Both analog and atsc digital are working. I am using 2.6.24-23-generic kernel. The procedure I followed is:
1. download and install the cvs version of v4l-dvb (http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb) .
2. download the firmwaredvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw from http://kernellabs.com/firmware/xc5000/ and copy to /lib/firmware/2.6.24-23-generic .
3. Channel scan works only with the versions of Kaffeine greater than 0.8.6 .
Download the 0.8.8 sources from http://kaffeine.kde.org/. Configure, make and install. Before compilation it is important to copy the file linux/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h from the v4l-dvb source tree to /usr/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h. (See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1098016 for a list of dependencies needed to compile Kaffeine.)
4. You may need to reboot first. Connect the 950Q stick, fire up Kaffeine, see in dmesg that the firmware is getting loaded. Scan for channels and get ready for the show.

I am trying so HAARRDDD to get this card working with analog cable and a PVR tyoe media center like MythTV, but so far NOOO luck.
Has anyone got it to work ????
any tips ...PLEASE and THANKS!
Hi Mark,
I am using Mythtv and it works great for me with the 950Q. My OS is ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty).
At what stage is your problem? Is it in getting the device recognized and setup or in getting the PVR to work? Before mythtv I could only get kaffeine to play the programs.
It will be helpful to see some log messages like dmesg output.
Best Regards,
Arun
I have indeed got it working with analog and MythTV! Awesome.
How? I'm only getting digital. Please help!!!
I'm not even sure how the heck I'm suppose to add the tuner.... I added another video device /dev/video0 with no luck it scans only the digital channels.
