Did that.

[mythtv at mediaserver .azap]$ azap wcbs
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 725000000 Hz
video pid 0x0000, audio pid 0x0000
status 00 | signal 3999 | snr dfbb | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal ad0d | snr f529 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b22c | snr f53d | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal ad0d | snr f4eb | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
..........................

/var/log/messages at the time I ran azap:

mediaserver kernel: or51132: Waiting for firmware 
upload(dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw)...
mediaserver kernel: or51132: Version: 10001134-19430000 (113-4-194-3)
mediaserver kernel: or51132: Firmware upload complete.

Perhaps mythtvsetup doesn't load the firmware? Is there a way to load 
firmware directly?

I did try mythtvsetup after running azap, thinking maybe the firmware 
drivers stayed loaded. Maybe they did stay loaded or they didn't, but the 
same error message from mythtvsetup - and no log entries.

I see ffrf has reverted back to the pcHDTV drivers. I may do that, though I 
never could get those to work  with mythtv either!
