Thank you for responding, I thought I had included everything but I guess a 
little bit of important information was left out. 

For the firmware I have attempted to run
     1) pvr250_17_21226.exe <= but it would never init both cards successfully
     2) pvr250_17_21288.exe  <= currently running this firmware.

Below are the DNR settting I am attempting to use the following command will 
give an error.
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl --set-codec-params=dnr_mode=0,dnr_temporal=0

ioctl: IVTV_IOC_S_CODEC
ioctl: IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC failed
