Probably one of the status/setup screens shows the firmware version.

The channel change failing has nothing to do with the cards. I think you
said the problems started after an upgrade so it's probably a software 
problem.  I have the PVR-150 which is a similar card. I haven't had the
same problems you have but have had occasional lockups of my machine.

Yes. Hopefully the OSD will show why its won't channge the channel
which will give me an idea of what I need to change in the script.

In the directv.pl script you may need to change this from .2 to 2 ot
more to allow you to see the error.
$clear_osd_delay = .2;
