Do you have the fx2 firmware in the correct location? (usually /lib/firmware/ )

If you don't have the firmware yet, you can download it from here:

http://steventoth.net/linux/hvr1950/v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw

Eventually, the firmware extractions scripts will be updated for the hvr1950, but you can use this link in the meanwhile.


If you're having trouble getting the driver to build and install correctly, this is the exact procedure that I recommend:

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
make
sudo make install
sudo make unload
sudo modprobe pvrusb2

If that doesnt work for you, first try rebooting your machine.  If it still doesn't work, please respond with full `dmesg` output and let me know what linux distro you are using.
