lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 2040:4902 Hauppauge HD PVR
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0461:4d15 Primax Electronics, Ltd Dell Optical Mouse

Under this configuration, I just ran a test with myth and it failed after
about 2 minutes:  Still get the Poll Error.
I've got 6 USB ports on this MoBo, so I've been trying each one to see what
happens.  I even switched USB cables.  So far I've tried 2 or 3 ports, and
they all fail.
