[mythtv-users] Hauppauge 1250 in lspci only

FIXED:   Huge Thanks to the guys in #mythtv-users that helped out on this.

This rev 04 card from H. seems to get a "card=3 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1250"
option when the cx23885 loads, but in reality this card labeled as a 1250
responds best to "card=20 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1255"

So on the fly I did the following as root,

rmmod cx23885
lsmod | grep cx23885
insmod
/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885.ko
card=20
lsmod | grep cx23885

ls -ld /dev/d*
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root     60 2010-09-22 09:59 /dev/dvb

# Yes!

My next step is look up again where this goes so the next reboot gets it.
My steps above will be otherwise lost on the next reboot.
