Comment(by alannisota at gmail.com):

 Rev 6 fixes several issues with HDD and DSR STBs that have been uncovered
 with user testing.  It doesn't really do much for any other boxes, but it
 is required to use the r5ktest.c application.
 The Test app will test that the R5000 is working properly in Linux.
 To compile, copy r5ktest.c into libs/libmythtv and from that directory do:
 {{{
 gcc -g -o r5ktest r5ktest.c r5000/*c -lusb
 }}}
 Use the --help switch for command line usage, but the following is the
 most common case:
 {{{
 ./r5ktest -t directv -m READ_STREAM
 }}}
 This would read 10 seconds worth of data into raw.ts which should be
 playable with mplayer.

 Before trying to use the r5000 with Mythtv, I recommend getting the test
 app to work.  If you have problems with it please contact me offlist, and
 I'll give you instructions how to generate streams that I can use to
 debug.
 Please do not post results from r5ktest.c to this ticket, they won't be
 helpful.
