    To  power  up  the  card,  load  the  following modules in the
    following order:
 
-     * insmod dvb-core.o
-     * modprobe bttv.o
-     * insmod bt878.o
-     * insmod dvb-bt8xx.o
-     * insmod sp887x.o
+     * modprobe bttv (normally loaded automatically)
+     * modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules)
 
    Insertion  of  these  modules  into  the  running  kernel will
    activate the appropriate DVB device nodes. It is then possible
    to start accessing the card with utilities such as scan, tzap,
    dvbstream etc.
 
-   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:
-   http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php.
-     _________________________________________________________
+   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 or /lib/firmware/
+   (depending on configuration of firmware hotplug).
