Strange problem with loading firmware on HVR-950Q (XC5000)
Anyway, my kernel-fu isn't very good and I can't make heads or tails of the following, other than this appeared exactly the same way even before I realized I needed to extract firmware for the XC5000. It lives in /lib/firmware now, but no difference, as I said.
I saw this exact same thing on another message in another list, but there were no replies (probably because it wasn't a DVB list).
Thanks for any and all help!
Mike

Are you running the latest version of the code from mercurial? If not, please update to the latest version and report back the results.

Tried it and nothing. Then I thought of something else and plugged "xc5000-1.1", part of the firmware filename, into Google, and got this:

Apparently this bug was seen back in September and supposedly squashed; not anymore. But the same fix worked: removing "i2c-dev" from the kernel and it's working fine, at least for ATSC stations.
I may have to return the dongle for a different one, though, since no one seems interested in including NTSC support for this device (and my programming skills suck right now), which is what I'm stuck with in our in-building sat/cable system. :( My understanding is the HVR-1950 supports all 3 formats, or I can downgrade to a HVR 8/950 (no suffix).
Anyway, hopefully this helps in squashing this bug once and for all!
Thanks again, Mike
