-   The frontend module sp887x.o, requires an external   firmware.
-   Please use  the  command "get_dvb_firmware sp887x" to download
-   it. Then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.
+   The  current version of the frontend module sp887x.o, contains
+   no firmware drivers?, so the first time you open it with a DVB
+   utility  the driver will try to download some initial firmware
+   to  the card. You will need to download this firmware from the
+   web,  or  copy  it from an installation of the Windows drivers
+   that probably came with your card, before you can use it.
+
+   The  default  Linux  filesystem  location for this firmware is
+   /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/sc_main.mc .

+Getting the Firmware
+
+   As the firmware for the card is no longer contained within the
+   driver,  it  is  necessary  to  extract  it  from  the windows
+   drivers.
+
+   The  Windows  drivers  for the Avermedia DVB-T can be obtained
+   from: http://babyurl.com/H3U970 and you can get an application
+   to extract the firmware from:
