This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-or51211.fw) for the demodulator. This file can be obtained several different ways:

# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/
# perl get_dvb_firmware or51211

Whatever method you choose (you'll get the same file regardless of the source), once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).


As an aside, although they differ in board design and layout, the HD-2000 card shares the same functional components as the first version of the DViCO FusionHDTV II card.
