Yes I have it installed. Before new kernel it worked just fine.
When I boot the old kernel it also works fine.
Startup messages are:

saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem ffffff0000052000 (revision 1, irq 16) 
(0x13c2,0x1011).
DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T  PCI).
adapter has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:23:34:49
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10045H DVB-T)...

So I thought that fw is already in, but then I don't get the second 
messages when i try to watch something.
When I try just to tzap something -r
I get an normal output:
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 506000000 Hz
video pid 0x0201, audio pid 0x0295
status 00 | signal ffff | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal ffff | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 00 | signal ffff | snr 0000 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
etc.

I don't know if this signal is ok, I usually get other signal output but 
it is now for a few days an I'm sure that I for example watched TV 
yesterday with old kernel and in MSThing it also plays fine, so antene 
system should be fine.

Any ideas pleas?
