Wow.  It certainly "looks" the same.  That 0xa7f9 device ID really looks 
suspect - it's not the usual pattern I'd expect.  Are you *sure* that 
number is right?

When you extracted the firmware, was it extracted from the driver CD you 
got with the device?  If it was, then that's strong evidence that this 
device should work, though I'm quite puzzled over the bizarre USB device 
ID.  You could try to force the issue by tweaking the pvrusb2 driver a 
bit: Edit pvrusb2-hdw.c and search for "2040".  That should lead you to a 
table of device IDs (with two entries).  You could try changing one entry 
to match your device ID and see if things work a little better.

One other thing: There should be a white sticker on the device.  That's 
the only real evidence of exactly what this thing is.  Can you read that 
sticker and send me verbatim what it shows?
