Download the firmware, and load the card specific modules. I've done it for both HVR-1300 and Nova-T500, see [[TvcardTest]] and http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI

!! Compiling v4l

First you need to install packages required to build kernel modules
[@ sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential @]

Since the kernel sources comes as a compressed package in /usr/src we need to uncompress that and link it in under our kernel version.
[@ cd /usr/src
sudo bunzip linux-source-$(uname -r).bz2
sudo tar -xvf linux-source-$(uname -r).tar
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-$(uname -r)/ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)-generic/source @]

Install Mercurial (cvs like program)
[@ sudo apt-get install mercurial
@]

Retrieve the v4l-dvb source tree
[@ cd ~
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb @]

Change into the v4l-dvb directory
[@ cd v4l-dvb
@]

Build the modules
[@ make
@]

Install the modules
[@ sudo make install
@]
