Firmware versions
From IVTV
Over time, Hauppauge have released a few different firmware versions. See firmware for details on how to extract the firmware and requirements for different cards.

Recommended firmware
The recommended firmware versions are:
0.3.9+ drivers
- Encoder: 0x02050032, md5sum d85cb08382395390dc95ac6ebc2205f9
- Decoder: 0x02020023, md5sum 305dba74bbe5905447add8883f3ecb68
- Available from: ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr_250-350/inf/pvr_1.18.21.22254_inf.zip
- Encoder: 0x02050032, md5sum 5f5fa240ada73c3565f5f7de4c7b5138
- Audio: md5sum 99836e41ccb28c7b373e87686f93712a
- Available from: ftp://ftp.hauppauge.com/Support/PVR150/Beta/amity24073.prerelease.zip
Note that both Encoder firmware files contain exactly the same firmware. The encoder firmware from amity24073.prerelease.zip is larger, but the extra size is zeropadding and is ignored by the ivtv driver.
Older drivers
- PVR250/350
- Encoder: 0x02040011, md5sum ab75947ef1b086e26f9b08e628baa02e
- Decoder: 0x02020023, md5sum 305dba74bbe5905447add8883f3ecb68
- Available from: ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr_250-350/win9x-2k-xp_mpeg_wdm_drv/pvr48wdm_1.8.22037.exe
- PVR150/500
- Audio: md5sum 3a4803384f749d644ee1f1ca9dcb12fa
- Available from:
ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr_150-500/inf/pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip
- Encoder: Same as newer drivers
PVR250/350 firmware
This section provides an at-a-glance indication of firmware revisions within the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250/350 driver packages. The data shown was derived by extracting the decoder and encoder firmware images from Hauppauge's various driver files. Then, an MD5 checksum was generated for each image. Identical checksums indicate bit-for-bit identical versions of firmware--and are shown on this page using identical colors. Therefore, if only using the firmware (i.e. for Linux users), many of the driver versions are, for all intents and purposes, identical.
To find out which firmware version you are using, generate an MD5 checksum on your firmware files and find the checksums in the table below. For example, assuming you have them in the default location (using the default name), execute:
md5sum /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-*
Note: After 37 releases with the firmware in the Windows drivers, Hauppauge decided to release the 38th Windows driver without the firmware. Instead, they placed it into the "inf" zip file. Therefore, the last several files listed (with inf in the filename), seem somewhat out of place, but they do, in fact, contain the firmware. Perhaps the change had to do with Windows driver licensing and Hauppauge's recognizing non-Windows users???
