OK, I found the firmware on-line via MythTV
( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_(800i)#Firmware ) at http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000 . (I guess I could have taken this from the CD that came with the tuner.) This contains the the windows drivers with a shell script to extract the firmware (both for the tuner and the ir receiver - the device apparently won't work without both pieces of firmware). So the device now works on the HP2133 mini-notebook running Ubuntu 8.10. Now onto getting this to run on Fedora 8 and 10. Douglas, thanks for your help.
