Hauppauge has historically provided pretty good (but not perfect) support for Linux users, although as a Windows user, I can't say I have personally benefited from it.

I still would like to be able to use the Linux box as a PVR and capture machine. The former HTPC is now running Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS, which it does quite well, although it hasn't got a whole lot of hands-on usage lately. My current HTPC is a Raspberry Pi running OpenELEC and networked to my home NAS server. The Hauppauge card is now in a Windows 10 tower, where it is very happy.
HAUPPAUGE USB TUNER DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU 16.04 DRIVER
It was a learning experience one of the first things I learned was that I needed to check driver availability and compatibility before buying hardware.I never was able to find a Linux driver for the Hauppauge card, and the AMD64 CPU and 8GB RAM was overkill for a HTPC.įast forward 7 years. So, about 7 years back I made my first attempt at building a HTPC using a desktop (full-height) case, an ASUS M5A88-M motherboard with AMD processor, a Hauppauge tuner/capture card, and OpenELEC.
