If a firmware is loaded you should see a /sys/class/pvrusb2 dir with entries  in it.

Firmwares could go into many locations, I'd check /lib/firmwares or 
/usr/local/lib/firmwares... look for *pvrusb* entries.

You have to follow the directions with regards to getting the firmware into 
those areas (just make sure it's a location actively searched for by your distro)...
