Openelec + Hauppauge Tuner + FIOS. Map DVB services disabled.

Pasha G

I just bought Hauppauge 1191 WinTV-HVR-950Q TV Tuner and I having a hard time setting it up.
I have a local TV package from FIOS, and when I plug the cable into the TV, i can get my channels.

I installed the tvheadend plugin in openelec and opened the web configuration.

First of all, why is the TV adapter showing up as Auvitek AU8522 QAM/8VSB Frontend? Shouldn't that say Hauppauge?

Second, how do I know what network to pick from the "Add DBV Network by Location". I tried 3-4 of them, it spent a lot of time scanning, but the "Map DVB services" button never became enabled.

I am also seeing quite a few entries in the "Multiplexes" tab, all with 100% quality, but none have a network name.

Here's a screenshot, in case that's useful http://i.imgur.com/zbQLWkS.png

I would appreciate any help.

I have the same problem, nobody can help! thats sad, cause this TV Tuner is in the official Support list, this is what you get if you like playing around with hardware/software.

Still waiting on my post for any help :(

Lack of the correct firmware was the problem for me
This thread helped me fix it

In openelec, /lib/firmware is read only, so I had to add it to /storage/.config/firmware

I have absolutely no clue about linux, so I guess I can't do it. This looks all like chinese for me... I will give it a try and work on it!

Don't worry about the details.
The important part is the link to firmware http://www.kernellabs.com/firmware/xc5000/ Download it, and put it into /storage/.config/firmware on your openelec machine.
You will probably need to use something like https://filezilla-project.org/ to create the folder and upload the firmware.

Looks like I did it right,

I can get services now, I can tune in the channel via openelec, but there is only sound no video and it shows the visualizing thing.
Whats the matter now. I apologize for my noobie knowlage over here
