    how to add an August DVB T202 tuner

    Can anybody help with getting an August DVB T202 tuner working on my openVix 3.0 image. I am told that the chipset is Siano 1140. I am a complete Linux greenhorn. Here are the linux driver instructions -
    1 copy dvb_nova_12mhz_b0.inp file to /lib/firmware
    (I have copied this with FTP)

    2 modify the driver with below patch

    diff -Naur /home/mike/work/v4l-dvb-3724e93f7af5/linux/drivers/media/dvb/siano/sms-cards.c /home/mike/work/v4l-dvb-1140/linux/drivers/media/dvb/siano/sms-cards.c

    (I tried to telenet this but I guess I was in the wrong directory as I got an error 'not found' so I navigated to /lib/firmware and tried the patch
    I also got a not found message but I got this at the end -
    root@et9x00:/lib/firmware# +++ /home/mike/work/v4l-dvb-1140/linux/drivers/media/dvb/siano/sms-cards.c 2011-07-13 16:25:28.000000000 +0800
    I really I not sure if I inputted this patch properly - I stopped here)

    can somebody help me with the readme.
    the first patch reads - diff -Naur /home/mike/work/v4l-dvb-3724e93f7af5/linux/drivers/media/dvb/siano/sms-cards.c /home/mike/work/v4l-dvb-1140/linux/drivers/media/dvb/siano/sms-cards.c
    is this an instruction to compare file A with File B and is the directory listed ( /home/mike/work) a directory on somebodies machine. I can find the directory /v4l-dvb-3724e93f7af5/linux/drivers/media/dvb/siano/sms-cards.c in the the unzipped files. I cannot find the directory v4l-dvb-1140/linux/drivers/media/dvb/siano/sms-cards.c
    wyh are the differences in these files being listed
    help
