The firmware is from the version 2.16a of the Technotrend Windows PCI driver, 
it md5sum is:
490709cef1ccb4a0ac03273c487669f0  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.bin

I couldn't get it working under Windows 95 when I tried, but it DOES work 
under Linux 2.4.25 subject the system being rebooted after loading the 
driver, then reloading the driver. 

I have had it working under Linux 2.6.4 (also with the above rebooting 
problem) in the past few weeks, though I forget weather this was with CVS or 
kernel tree drivers.

It's a WinTV NOVA-T, using the budget-ci module.
