I seem to be getting some firmware errors on my HVR-1800. From syslog:
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_AUDIO_PROPERTIES
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_BIT_RATE
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_BIT_RATE
Jul 22 20:19:36 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Jul 22 20:19:37 myth-mbe kernel: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted, signature = 0xffffffff, cmd = PING_FW
The errors show up if I try to use the card in MythTV, or do a cat
/dev/video1. The capture file has no picture, but there is a bit of
sound, but lots of static.
I just downloaded the latest dvb tree, so that's up to date. My kernel
is 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.x86_64. I also refreshed the firmware from
http://steventoth.net/linux/hvr1800 to be sure the files weren't corrupt.

I've been doing a bit more testing and seems that the HVR-1800 doesn't
play well with the PVR-500. That's not to say that I've been able to
get the 1800 analog piece to work, but it does behave better when I take
the 500 out of the box. I don't get the firmware errors when the 500 is
out. I still don't get any video or audio on the 1800 though. It acts
like there is no cable connected, just static.
Any suggestions?
