[mythtv-users] HDPVR worked for 2 days, no more worky now.

[Stephen Sassman]

I bought a Hauppauge HD-PVR (1212 I think) a couple of weeks ago. When I
first hooked it up to my mythbuntu system (10.04), it was working fine. I
think it was after I tried to upgrade the firmware through my windows box
that it stopped working in linux. Actually, I think I forgot to reboot the
windows box after firmware upgrade which you are supposed to do (I think).
Now it doesn't work at all in linux. The hdpvr module is loaded (my kernel
is 2.6.32) and /dev/video0 is there. When I try cat /dev/video0 > test.ts,
the file is zero bytes.  I have tried reinstalling the firmware several
times (with reboot), but no luck. Any ideas?

I am getting this error in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log when I try to
watch live tv:
