[pvrusb2] HVR-1950 stopped working.

Tue Sep 15 16:25:59 CDT 2009

I let it rest unplugged for 12 hours or so, redownloaded the firmware, and the only change is now it records black with static for audio.

Also, when I look into the /sys/ interface the only thing that looks strange to me is that ctl_channel/cur_val is "0" and echoing to it doesn't change it. (Shouldn't it?)

Any suggestions?
