Making it Work

Firmware

if you get:

  DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10045H DVB-T)...
  tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-tda10045.fw)...
  tda1004x: no firmware upload (timeout or file not found?)
  tda1004x: firmware upload failed

you must run the get_dvb_firmware script in v4l-dvb/linux/Documentation/dvb (from mercurial)

  get_dvb_firmware tda10045
  get_dvb_firmware tda10046

and copy the resulting files to /lib/firmware (need to use the chmod)

Drivers

The card should be autodetected.

For the dvb frontend, you may have to load it manually with the module option:

   modprobe saa7134-dvb
