Also, I tried re-extracting the firmware with the perl script http://www.isely.net/downloads/fwextract.pl I downloaded today and used it on the installation CD to get the following files 376836 2008-07-26 11:59 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw 12559 2008-07-26 11:59 v4l-cx25840.fw 8192 2008-07-26 11:59 v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw 8192 2008-07-26 11:59 v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw but still no luck. By the way, the filesize for the old v4l-cx25840.fw was 16382. Everything else the same. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
