At some point relatively recently the pcHDTV 3000 in one of my slave
backends started having this problem (I'd say in the last 2 or 3
kernel updates in FC7). However I only buy Intel chipset boards so I
don't think it's related to your Nvidia chipset.  Since my firmwware
files aren't RPMed and haven't been changed in a long time (file dates
say 2005) I'd going to guess that something broke in the driver
recently. Maybe we're all using firmware that's just too old for the
current driver?
