Missing firmware for DVB-T card Hauppage HVR-1110

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command 'uname -a' in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report.
3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks in advance!

1/ My kernel version is the following one :
Linux pcathlon 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

2/ 3/ Attached.

Thanks for your information about how to report kernel bugs.

Attached the lspci vvnn.

I have the exact same symptoms with a Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-T under both Feisty and Gutsy. It is properly recognized and everything, but fails to tune to any channel when dvb-fe-tda10046.fw is missing.

Firmwares are in linux-restricted-modules

Yes, but someone has to add the missing firmware to it :-)

I just noticed the tda1004x firmwares are not downloadable from linuxtv.org anymore for whatever reason. As an ex-Mandriva user I know that Penguin Liberation Front maintains various up-to-date firmware packages from where the files could be extracted. There are also loads of firmware for download here: http://www.geexbox.org/firmwares/

It should really be easy to add them to linux-restricted-modules in Hardy and after some testing provide a backported package for Gutsy.

This bug may be a showstopper for people that convert to Linux and want to use their TV card. Just as a side note ...

This bug was fixed in the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 - 2.6.24.9-8.20

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (2.6.24.9-8.20) hardy; urgency=low

  * nvidia-glx*:
    - When using the nvidia-settings binary for storing
      values in xorg.conf it clutters up the file with unneeded settings,
      and some are just plain wrong nowadays (the mouse device for
      instance). So, don't ship the version included in the drivers, instead
      Suggest nvidia-settings -package (again), and fix the issues there.
    - Don't ship nvidia-settings.desktop, only the .png file.
      Nvidia-settings will include the desktop-file.
  * rules:
    - Enable fglrx for -rt (LP: #182242)
  * rules, control.stub.in:
    - Enable -server flavor. (LP: #153011)
  * dvb:
    - Add dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw (LP: #90723)
    - Add dvb-fe-tda10046.fw (LP: #107090)
  * ati: Update fglrx to 8-02. (LP: #173663, #189772)
  * {nvidia-glx,nvidia-glx-dev,xorg-driver-fglrx}.postrm.in
    - Check that the diverted file actually belongs to the current package
      before trying to remove the diversion. Thanks to Kirk Turner and
      Alberto Milone for patches, and Michael Vogt for review!
      (LP: #36625, #130208, #175789)
  * nvidia-glx.{preinst,postrm}.in, rules:
    - Fix the path of libglx.so.
  * rules:
    - Unexport CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to cope with the new dpkg-buildpackage.

  * debian/lrm-video: Add support for EnvyNG.
