Making it Work

Firmware

Supplied by manufacturer (v 1.22.82.0)

Prof supplies a zip file which contains the firmware file dvb-fe-cx24116.fw which is version 1.22.82.0. Copy this file to /lib/firmware and reboot your computer or reload the driver modules.

You can also use the firmware supplied by TeVii.

Supplied by TeVii (v 1.23.86.1)

Firmware v1.23.86.1 is available with the TeVii S460 Linux driver at http://tevii.com/Support.asp.

wget http://tevii.com/Tevii_linuxdriver_0815.rar
sudo apt-get install unrar-free
unrar x Tevii_linuxdriver_0815.rar
sudo cp tevii_linuxdriver_0815/fw/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.23.86.1.fw
sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.23.86.1.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw

You can also have a look at Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000#Firmware. It uses the same firmware.
