PCTV 460e - missing firmware

Added by Anonymous over 11 years ago

I've bought a PCTV 460e having given up on my TeVii S660 and was looking forward to it just working out of the box. However, I encountered an issue with missing firmware:

tda10071: did not find the firmware file. (dvb-fe-tda10071.fw)

I have found a firmware file on Git for OpenElec but no other references to this. Where are other people finding the correct firmware? (I have enabled proprietary drivers. I've had this issue with both Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.) I get the impression that I'm missing something obvious!

Thanks!

That firmware file will work fine (I know, I use it on one of my systems).

Thanks for that - it did indeed work.

However, I've figured out how to get the firmware the "correct" way and brief suggested instructions are below for reference (from memory so might not be perfect!):

cd ~
mkdir get_dvb_firmware
cd get_dvb_firmware
wget https://raw.github.com/torvalds/linux/master/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware
chmod a+x get_dvb_firmware
./get_dvb_firmware tda10071
sudo cp dvb-fe-tda10071.fw /lib/firmware/
