Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
Feisty is shipping the old cx2341x encoder firmware image, fw size: 262144
Hauppauge has officially released a newer image, fw size: 376836
This newer version of the "v4l-cx2341x-
The difference between the 376836 image over the 262144 image enables all registers in the cx2341x mpeg encoder to be initialized to the proper state.
The official firmware tarball, containing cx2341x, cx25840 and pvrusb2 firmware,
along with licenses, can be downloaded from:

Both the pvrusb2 driver and the cx88-blackbird mpeg encoder driver are each compatable with the new firmware image as of: 2.6.20.2
All ivtv branches are already compatable with the new firmware image.

this affects all kernels 2.6.20 and after ... and priority should NOT be low on this..... any driver that depends on cx2341x.ko is BROKEN under ubuntu with this old firmware. new code needs the *official* firmware, please update asap.
