I recently got a Hauppauge WIN-TV HVR-900TV USB 2.0 Analogue & Digital TV Tuner in order to digitize old VHS tapes.

However it doesn't work out of the box on Ubuntu Linux. You can get analog video (but not audio) working under Linux if you patch your kernel.

The Hardware

Unfortunately there are several versions of the HVR-900 sold. I have the HVR-900H, but it says HVR-900 on the box. The HVR 900 works well in linux, however the HVR 900H doesn't have good linux support. You can tell them apart by the output of lsusb. Here's my one:

The kernel patch

This is the kernel patch you need to apply:

This is from a post on linux-media mailinglist, however it is not applied to the main kernel source, since it would not fully work. As far as I can tell, this patch makes the analog video work, but not the digital video. However for my uses (digitizing VHS), analog video is fine.

Device numbers

Every time you unplug the USB device and plug it back in, it'll get a new device number. If you plug it in first, it'll be /dev/video0, if you unplug it, and replug it, the same USB device will now be /dev/video1. When you reboot, it'll (obviously) reset to /dev/video0. GStreamer allows you to record for any video device with v4l2src

What works

With this patch, analog video (both with the tv aerial/co-axial cable, and via composite) works. Analog audio doesn't work. I can't try digitial (since I don't have it available to test), but I've been told digitial video or audio doesn't work.

Getting it working

I wanted to digitize some old video cassette tapes, and to use GStreamer on the command line (gst-launch).

Switching the device to composite

The tvtime application can switch the device from analog signal tuning to use a analog composite input. Just plug the device in, plug in the composite cable, start playing a video, then run tvtime, it'll automatically switch the device to composite. There might be some command line v4l2 programmes to do it aswell.

Recording with gstreamer

Recording video

To gstreamer, this USB TV tuner appears as just another v4l2src in the pipeline. Your video will appear out of there.

Recording audio

I plugged an analog audio input into the microphone port of my computer, and recorded the audio with pulseaudio

Example Pipeline

This will display the video as it's playing. Watch TV on your computer!

Misc

Full lsub -v output

For the record here's the lsusb -v output while the tv tuner is plugged in:
