#Wintv hvr 850 river software

SageTV simply gives me a 'No Signal' message when I attempt to tune to any channel. Can anyone even confirm that this device will work with Linux and SageTV or should I just cut my losses and purchase a new device? I've tried it on different versions of Ubuntu (9.10 and 10.10 to be specific). I've done the steps that suggests for the device. I have been to the ends of the internet looking for a solution.

I am even able to view the few analog broadcast channels in my area by using the TVTime software - so I know it's working somewhat. The firmware loads properly (checked by typing 'dmesg'). The WinTV-HVR-850 device is recognized by the OS. Source of TV: OTA antenna (digital broadcasts)ДЄll of this very same hardware worked perfectly when I was running Windows. I also tried to get it to work with the kernel version that 10.04 LTS runs normally.) Kernel: 2.6.38-1-generic (I upgraded to that kernel. OS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (not the server edition) Sadly that hasn't been the case.Д¬apture Device: WinTV-HVR-850 (device code: 2040:7240) (And yes, it is plugged into a USB 2.0 port.) I did research before moving to Linux and I was led to believe that it would work pretty much with minimal effort. I can't, however, get my WinTV-HVR-850 to work. Everything on the SageTV side seems to be working fine. I was able to get SageTV installed and running perfectly. I recently upgraded to SageTV 7, and in the process moved to a Linux based server as I wanted to rid myself of the last instance of Windows running in my house. Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum.
