I havent tried simply adding the 4.95 firmware to a vanilla mythbuntu karmic 
install and seen what happens... It might just work!
I'll have a go when I get time. I've fiddled way to much with the make and 
install commands on this system knowing sweet stuff all about what is going on. 
 In karmic one is supposed to install the full kernel source tree according to 
the mythtv wiki.

I had/have no idea how to do this as I'm a linux noob.
I would like to know though!
Without the full kernel source tree the make fails with a heap of FIREDTV 
errors.
I over come this though by using this command which was suggested for a 
hauppage card with a simular requirement of the full kernel source tree.
"make CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV:=n || return"
Yet the tuner still would not lock with anything but the 4.65 firmware.  I was 
checking each time in dmesg to find out what firmware was loading.
I also noticed some people suggesting to install the firmware in /lib/firmware 
and others /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)/
what difference does this make?
I'd like to learn a lot more about this stuff 
cheers
