BTW, I am not really recommending this. I actually had to manually
extract and use the firmware from the cd that comes with this to
activate the device on in linux. Once it is activated replacing the
firmware from v4l-dvb works fine. Rebooting and powering down the
machine and it still works. Move it to a new machine and I need to
apply the cd firmware again..
