Exact sequence is:

echo "1002 4384" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
echo "0000:00:14.4" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:14.4/driver/unbind

I take it this is a bad thing then?

Yes

You're right, all 5 devices were using pci-stub

What does that libvirt error mean? I can't find a definition.
Am I limiting myself by using libvirt? Would not using it help and how
would I go about not using it?

Game over then?
I've tried assigning the USB devices before, I couldn't do it because
qemu doesn't support USB2 devices.
I don't really understand where this IRQ conflict is, the firewire and
the USB2 device share IRQ22 but I'm assigning them both to the VM?
Is that still a problem?
I don't suppose there's any way to change which IRQ they use in the
BIOS or with a command is there?

I don't know if it means anything but this page:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2200

Has the lspci output for the HVR-2200 which mentions MSI and IRQ255.
My knowledge it very limited on this subject so I don't know if that's
meaningless looking at the output from another person's lspci.

Anything left to try?

Regardless, many thanks for your help,

James.
