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

I also got a not found message but I got this at the end -
