The firmware of the pvr cards is uploaded to the card whenever the ivtv
driver is loaded if I am not mistaken. Certainly, the firmware is not
resident in any sort of flash ram on the card. Just getting hold of and
using the correct firmware should solve the problem in this case. Have a
look at ivtvdriver.org, that should sort you out.
