PPA installation instructions for TV tuner driver on Ubuntu
Open Terminal in Ubuntu The easiest way to open terminal is to right click on desktop and select Open Terminal. You can also click Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard.
In Terminal, type the following or copy and paste the following lines, one by one, then click enter.
First, determine the version of Ubuntu you are running
To do this, run this command:
dpkg -l | grep linux-image-generic-hwe
If a line is displayed beginning with 'ii', then you are running the HWE version of Ubuntu. You will need to know if you are running HWE this in a moment when you install the mediatree.
Download the PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:b-rad/kernel+mediatree+hauppauge
After this first line, click enter when prompted to add this PPA.
sudo apt-get update
If you are running an HWE version of Ubuntu, use this command:
sudo apt-get install linux-hwe-mediatree
If you are NOT running HWE, use this command:
sudo apt-get install linux-mediatree
Note: at this point, you also need to install TV firmware if you are using one of the following TV tuners:
- a Hauppauge DVB TV tuner in Europe, Australia or New Zealand (example: WinTV-soloHD, WinTV-dualHD, WinTV-quadHD, WinTV-HVR-5525, Starburst 2, etc.)
- 461e or WinTV-NOVA-S2
- WinTV-quadHD USB for North America
To download and install Hauppauge TV tuner firmware, run this command:
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-hauppauge
Close Terminal and restart your computer.
You can now connect your Hauppauge WinTV TV tuner to your computer and it should be available for use by your Linux TV watching application.

Some NAS drives have support for Hauppauge TV tuners. While currently the WD NAS has the best Hauppauge TV tuner support, coming is support for Synology and the QNAP TS-235.
WD NAD drives
Instructions:
- Plug your Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD, WinTV-HVR-955Q or WinTV-HVR-935C into the back of a WD NAS drive (see list below for tested drives).
- Go to the WD app store and install 'TV/Media Device Drivers' on the WD NAS.
- You will need to install the Plex server, Emby or TVHeadend on the NAS drive too.
- On your client computer (examples: Windows PC, AppleTV, AndroidTV, Roku), you will need a TV watching application. If you have installed the Plex server on the NAS, you can use Plex on your Windows or Linux computer which is networked to the WD NAS drive.

Hauppauge technical support has been testing with the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, which work 'out of the box' with Raspbian OS 4.19 or later with these Hauppauge TV tuners: WinTV-soloHD (Europe/ANZ), WinTV-dualHD (North America and Europe), WinTV-HVR-955Q (North America) and the 461e/WinTV-Nova-S2.
Raspian OS
Here is a video showing the installation of the

The WinTV-dualHD drivers come with the latest Raspbian OS, so all you need to do is plug your WinTV-dualHD into your RPi 3 or 4, install a TV application like Kaffeine, connect an antenna and scan for channels.
Firmware is needed for some Hauppauge TV tuners
Some Hauppauge TV tuners need additional firmware to be install on your Raspberry Pi. Here are the command lines to add Hauppauge firmware for those tuners which need it. You can load the firmware at any time, but it needs to be installed before you use the TV tuner.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-tpNMx-05sThe current version of OpenELEC 6.0.1 Kernel also has support out of the box for the WinTV-dualHD (both North America and European versions) plus the WinTV-HVR-955Q. All Hauppauge drivers and firmware are included as part of the OpenElec distribution, so you don't need to add the firmwer. Just plug your Hauppauge TV tuner into a USB port and fire up OpenElec.
Linux Wireless Drivers Download
OpenElec also includes Kodi, which you can use as your TV viewer.
OpenELEC can be downloaded from http://openelec.tv/get-openelec
Please check the OpenELEC community on how to install and run an operating system on the Raspberry Pi.
All you need to do is connect the HVR-955Q to a USB port on the Raspberry Pi.

We have tested with Live Channels version 1.14.012
Supported Hauppauge TV tuners include the WinTV-HVR-955Q and the WinTV-dualHD for North America. At this time, there are no DVB TV tuners supported in Live Channels.
Here is an installation video for Live Channels
Note: if you are getting TV video but no audio with Live Channels, most likely your video monitor is missing an AC3 decoder. With Live Channels, you need to have a video monitor connected to your Android system which has an AC3 decoder built in. Unlike Plex (which decodes AC3 and turns it into two channel audio if needed), Live Channels does not decode the AC3. If you are using a video monitor which does not support AC3 surround sound audio, you can use a sound bar (which normally have AC3 decoders built in).
