[mythtv-users] HD PVR Device Error Detected

[Paul Siegel]

Sorry, it's not clear if you're responding to my original problem or my 
latest update.  Do you mean to say that the change to the linux-media 
source will make it work with the latest firmware?  It's been working 
great since I downgraded my firmware, so I'm pretty strongly inclined to 
take a "if it aint broke..." stance on this.
