Mike,

Thanks for the tips.

To focus the attention on testing pvrusb2, I compiled and tested xawtv-4.x.

Unfortunately, there still seems to be some trouble. Should the encoder
light up when using scantv?
> scantv
using device "Hauppauge WinTV pvr-usb2"
using input "composite"
using TV norm "NTSC-M"
using frequency table "us-cable"

Anyway, when I proceed with xawtv, the /var/log/messages registers the
following error.
Nov  5 21:38:59 shafran kernel: [ 1421.470668] pvrusb2: ***WARNING***
device's encoder appears to be stuck (status=000000003)
Nov  5 21:38:59 shafran kernel: [ 1421.470675] pvrusb2: Encoder command:
0x81
Nov  5 21:38:59 shafran kernel: [ 1421.470677] pvrusb2: Giving up waiting.
It is likely that this is a bad idea...
Nov  5 21:38:59 shafran kernel: [ 1421.470681] pvrusb2: Error recovery
initiatedNov  5 21:38:59 shafran kernel: [ 1421.470683] pvrusb2: Retrying
device reconfiguration

Then, when I try to use the 'scan analog' in edit, the program seg-faults.
Have you seen this before?

I appreciate your help.
