Firmware
Use the "dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw" firmware. It contains firmware for both demodulator and tuner.
If you get an error at this step, please make sure that firmware "dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw" is available in /lib/firmware. Otherwise you can download it here : OpenElec SourceTree.
Please note that last version of the driver is needed as there is a strong symbiosis between drivers and firmware.
