Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-firmware
Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick does not work with Ubuntu 10.04 due to missing firmware file.
Relevant lsusb line:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 2040:c000 Hauppauge
Relevant dmesg output:
[ 8747.520107] usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[ 8747.654106] usb 1-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 8747.655765] usb 1-6: firmware: requesting sms1xxx-
[ 8747.660939] smscore_
[ 8747.660953] usb 1-6: firmware: requesting dvb_nova_
[ 8747.670090] smscore_
[ 8747.670098] smsusb_init_device: line: 383: smscore_
How To Fix:
$ wget http://
$ sudo mv sms1xxx-
And then it works as expected when the MiniStick is inserted!

I believe a newer firmware can be found by extracting it directly from the Hauppauge driver: www.wintvcd. co.uk/drivers/ WinTV-MiniStick _4_2_26_ 28027_WHQL. zip _4_2_26_ 28027_WHQL. zip driver17/ hcw17dvb. 1b0 sms1xxx- hcw-55xxx- dvbt-02. fw
$ wget http://
$ unzip -j WinTV-MiniStick
$ sudo mv hcw17dvb.1b0 /lib/firmware/
This procedure was inspired by this page: http:// ubuconf. buron.eu/ 2010/03/ changing- firmware- for-hauppage- wintv.html
This newer file differ from (is bigger than) the file downloaded from steventoth.net. I have tested with both files and not found any visible difference.
