Do you have hotplug installed? (It's probably /sbin/hotplug.)
It is needed to pass the file from /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware to the
kernel when the driver requests it.

The new firmware files are dvb-fe-tda10045.fw (and ...6.fw). They are
30K for the 10045 and 24K for the 10046. The old tda1004x.bin (much
bigger) is no longer required but it's ok to leave it in the directory.
