This is strange... I have three files:

ivtv-fw-dec.bin, md5 305dba74bbe5905447add8883f3ecb68 (0x02020023)
ivtv-fw-enc.bin, md5 6e2012d919fa48811c27e25e54a0a5dc (0x02040024)
ivtv-fw-enc.bin, md5 ab75947ef1b086e26f9b08e628baa02e (presumably  
0x02040011)

The first and third are in /lib/modules, but I still get
  Mar  6 23:40:19 holywood kernel: ivtv: Decoder revision: 0x02020023
  Mar  6 23:40:20 holywood kernel: ivtv: Encoder revision: 0x02040024
  Mar  6 23:40:20 holywood kernel: ivtv: Encoder Firmware is buggy, use  
version 0x02040011

...in /var/log/messages when I boot the computer, even after leaving it  
with no power plugged in for >5 minutes.
