You can check out older version of the CVS by date.

8-) Christmas movie mania. ;-)

I'm currently updating the docs, but forgot "build-2.4/README". Mea culpa.

Get the firmware from the main DVB download site, the only and most 
recent version is
http://www.linuxtv.org:81/download/dvb/dvb-ttpci-01.fw

Then do a "make clean && ./getlinks && make" in the directory. The call 
to the "fdump" utility should convert the firmware file to the header 
file again, just like it used to be.

I fear this won't be fixed. For me, these types of errors happen if you 
have a picky card in a picky system, ie. irq sharing, VIA chipset, high 
overall latency, ...

I'll be on the net until 23:00 ... ;-)
