The analog part of this card works out of the box.

Firmware

This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-tda10046.fw) for the DVB-T demodulator. This file can be obtained two different ways:

  • download a package containing this and many other firmwares from this archived file (1,52MiB)....Note: If you can provide proper hosting, you're welcome to re-host the file and edit this page.
  • using the get_dvb_firmware perl script, included with kernel sources, which will download the Windows driver file and rip the firmware out of it:
# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/
# perl get_dvb_firmware tda10046

Whatever method you choose, once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros i.e.depending on your hotplug version it could be /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ ; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location):

sudo cp dvb-fe-tda10046.fw /lib/firmware (replace /lib/firmware with /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ if required)
