Isolved my problem and now i have the Hauppauge WinTV Solo HD id 2040:8268 fully functional with Ubuntu 16.04.3. The steps that i have done are the following. I don't know if all of them are necessary, however i hope this can help someone with this problem.
* I've installedV4L-DVB as explained here: https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers
* I've downloadeddvb-demod-si2168-02.fw (https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/blob/master/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw) and copied to/lib/firmware
* I've installed the packagelinux-firmware-nonfree -> downloaded from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/linux-firmware-nonfree selected my architecture and thensudo dpkg -i linux-firmware-nonfreexx_.deb_
* Then the magic commands suggested by Sir Cypher:
I have created a filedvbstick.sh


#!/bin/bash
modprobe em28xx card=94
echo "2040 8268" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/em28xx/new_id

maked it executable withsudo chmod +x dvbstick.sh and then, because the udev rule not work for me, i have added the script to/etc/rc.local

Hello,

I also had this issue and the workaround worked for me as well. Thanks a lot!

But now I'v got a second issue: I bought a WinTV-dualHD to have 3 tuners. If I connect the dualHD instead of the soloHD, it works - but only one tuner shows up in tvheadend configuration.

If I connect both (the soloHD and the dualHD) only adapter0 is present in tvheadend.

Is there a way to get the two tv adapter and all three tuners working? (I'm completely new to tvheadend and linux.)

Thanks a lot in advance!

best regards

Making dvbstick.h:
modprobe em28xx card=94

echo "2040 8268" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/em28xx/new_id

is enough !

Thanks man : You made my day :)

And if someone else like to have the configuration well made.

That is, using the correct VID & PID in /etc/udev/rules.d just have to:

Create the file:

etc/udev/rules.d/99-wintv-solohd-newid.rules

Inserting the following contents (note /bin/bash calling /bin/echo):

DRIVER=="usb", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2040", ATTR{idProduct}=="8268", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe em28xx card=94", RUN+="/bin/bash -c '/bin/echo 2040 8268 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/em28xx/new_id'"
