Firmware

The easiest option is to download the necessary firmware files from OpenELEC DVB firmware collection [1]. Note that when downloading the firmware, you will need to click the Raw button to get the actual binary.

• dvb-demod-si2168-a20-01.fw
• dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-01.fw

V1.1

• dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

Place the firmware files under /lib/firmware.

IR Remote Control

The supplied remote control is supported by the driver.

Known issues

Some CAMs require initialization before they will work. Without initialization it's possible that even non-encrypted channels do not work. If there's no CAM inserted, there's no issue.

gnutv could be used to initialize the CAM, for example:

gnutv -timeout 1 -out file /var/tmp/test.ts -channels ~/channels.conf FOX

Also, just running "gnutv -cammenu" seems to initialize my CAM.
