In the bundled Windows driver/software, there are one firmware files, it is dvb-usb-dw3101.fw ,These may or may not have anything to do with this particular device .

  • Microchip 24C02 (serial EEPROM) ... situated on back side of the PCB directly beneath where the tuner IC would be
  • NXP/Philips TDA10023HT (digital demodulator)
