In /etc/hotplug, on FC4 and probably lots of other distros, there is a 
script called firmware.agen which has hardwired into it, the place the 
distro looks for hotpug firmware.

In FC4, that spot is /lib/firmware

Copy the firmware files for your PVR500 or HD3000 to that folder. The 
naming scheme for these files has also changed with the inclusion of dvb 
dirvers in the kernel. These files now start with v4l-xxxx. The PVR 
files have changed names over time too (Hah!, Since June!).
So it would not hurt if you have copies with the 'old' style names, either.
