Yes, I remember this exchange.  At the time you had mentioned only the 3 
files with identical MD5 sums (not that other one with the dadb79... 
sum).  Here's the message I sent in response at that time:

Yes, it works fine.  I tested an HVR-1950 and a PVR-USB2 24xxx series 
model.  Both work with the new firmware.

Given that the 3 firmware images are identical, then what's the point of 
there being 3 different names?
