hp 6300 pro SFF
Linux

As i found out that all the PCI-E slots in this desktop are version 2 and they're not backward compatiblie with version 1 i would like to ask HP if there is a chance for BIOS update that will fix this issue ?

 

 

From my side I've tested two PCI-E tuners (TBS 6220 DVB-T/T2 and hauppauge wintv-hvr-1200) which haven't been recognized by this PC.

 

 

 

As i've tested both cards mentioned above on two different Hp desktops, here are details of investigation that only confirms that issue exists for hp 6300.

 

HP 6000 Pro specification on which tuner is working:
