Ah, here we go. ;-)

Nov 22 08:15:38 [kernel] pvrusb2: firmware2 upload transfer failure

I'm missing firmware someplace. :-/

BTW, the DVB (digital) side works without issues.

(Would be really cool if I could just do grep "pvrusb2", or at most grep 
"pvrusb2|cx25840" on syslog.  But doing so currently doesn't catch lines in 
between!  Well anyways, only a few more lines anyways...)
