I bought what was supposed to be a PVR-250 by mail order.  What
arrived was a PVR-150MCE.  Looking at what's on the CD, the closest I
can find is:

cxm_extract_fw runs fine against
WinTV-PVR-250_retail1_1_18_22266/hcwPVRP2.sys, but with
WinTV-PVR-150500MCE_2.0.18.22316_WHQL_signed/hcwPP2.sys it says:

=== root at teevee (/dev/ttyp0) /usr/src/sys/dev/cxm 22 -> ./cxm_extract_fw hcwPP2.sys 
cxm_extract_fw: decoder image not present
cxm_extract_fw: encoder image not present

I don't know anything about the content of these files, but if you do,
and if I can help, let me know.  I'm assuming that the cards are
different enough that I can't use the -250 firmware on the -150.
