Hi Samuel,

please consider using the latest dvb-kernel. Since yesterday (!) the 
dibusb is included in the dvb-usb-framework. Along with that update I 
changed the recommended firmware for these devices to version 6.0.0.8 (it 
is also in CVS).

Is there a specific reason for doing that? Which version do you have?

Please find attached my version of the hex2bin-script.

The problem you reported some time ago (unlimited bulk-errors) should be 
gone now as well. Please give it a try.

regards
Patrick.
