Well guys, I spoke a little too soon. Today after solving my
firewire/channel-change problem, I decided to do a test recording via
myth.  It failed.  I went and tried to do a test recording via command line
and got:

 $ /opt/Hauppauge/bin/hauppauge2 -s E524-00-00ABAE4A  -i 1 -a 1 -o
/tmp/test.ts
2020-07-31T17:16:38.480742 CRIT <main> Logger.cpp:83 (setLogLevelFilter)
Changing loglevel to NOTC
2020-07-31T17:16:38.480920 CRIT <main> hauppauge2.cpp:347 (main) Starting up
Failed to open dev.
2020-07-31T17:16:38.489129 CRIT <main> hauppauge2.cpp:355 (main) Device
E524-00-00ABAE4A not found on USB bus.

I rebooted and tried again.  Same result.  But lsusb finds it:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2040:e524 Hauppauge

Tried the steps under "troubleshooting" on JohnP's the git page.  I
couldn't find the suggested log entry in syslog or mythbackend.log (not
sure what log it's referring to). So I used the bus 1 as given in lsusb.
Still won't do a test recording.

Before I tried the myth test recording I had gone into setup to make sure
the tuning timeout was 15 sec as suggested.  I found this in
mythtv-setup.log

/var/log/mythtv/mythtv-setup.log:Jul 31 16:57:21 steve-EP45-UD3P
mythtv-setup.real: mythtv-setup[589]: E ScreenLoad v4l2util.cpp:42 (Open)
V4L2(): Could not open '/opt/Hauppauge/bin/hauppauge2 -c
/opt/Hauppauge/etc/hdpvr2-1.conf': #012#011#011#011eno: No such file or
directory (2)

But both files are there and seem to have the necessary permissions.  The
right serial number is in hdpvr2-1.conf:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1707408 Jul 25 10:57 hauppauge2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1940 Jul 27 12:50 hdpvr2-1.conf


How to proceed?
