Hello all,
I've got the misfortune of maintaining a small number of systems that use the cx18 driver for their HVR-1600 cards; I'm just in the process of bringing these systems up to Fedora 21, and have discovered that cx18-firmware was retired.
As I'm going to have to maintain the package for work purposes, I'm volunteering to maintain it in Fedora for F21 and later. If anyone's interested in having it available in Fedora, the review request is at:

Add firmwares for three Conexant chipsets for cx18, cx23885 and cx23840
Add firmwares for those V4L/DVB devices: CX23418 PCI Broadcast A/V with MPEG encoder CX25843 sideport Broadcast A/V decoder CX23885 PCI Express Broadcast A/V decoder
Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab mchehab@redhat.com
It would probably make a lot more sense just to get them included in the Fedora linux-firmware package.

That sounds like a very good idea to me. I've filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1203385 for the attention of the linux-firmware maintainers.

which provide the utility for activating the input of the capture card # v4l2-ctl -i 2 Video input set to 2 (Composite 1)
The solution is to re-install ivtv-utils from f21 with the -nodeps option

If v4l2-ctl is what you need then nowadays you should install v4l-utils.

i not packaged in linux-firmaware but removed by ivtv-firware now obsolete
package ivtv-utils was providing v4l2-ctl application v4l2-ctl application is now provided by v4l-utils
