../linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1/build-2.4# ./fdump
        usage: ./fdump <ucode.bin> <array_name> <output_name>


../linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1/build-2.4# grep fdump *

So it looks like the first(?) dvb-ttpci*.fw file is used, not Dpram+root.



Thanks!
That clarified alot what is going on in the vdr box ;-)
and why it works ;-)
