Well it's a different tuner chip and apparently there are some internal 
issues with how the tuner's driver is setting it up.  I don't know the 
specifics; it's out of my depth currently.

However AFAIK the pvrusb2 driver is doing all the right things.  At the 
moment the pvrusb2 driver marks the HVR-1950 as not having FM radio 
capability since it still doesn't work there.  Last Sunday night after 
finishing up with the fixes for cx25840 video scaling, I re-tested this 
just to be sure, with no success.
