The CX24117 driver requires the "dvb-fe-cx24117.fw" firmware file in /lib/firmware/.

Please DON'T email me asking for it. Instead get it yourself from the official TBS drivers.

Firmware used by TBS Linux driver

This can be downloaded and extracted as follows:

wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v130901.zip
unzip -p tbs-linux-drivers_v130901.zip linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 | tar jxOf - linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/tbs6981fe_driver.o.x86_64 | dd bs=1 skip=10144 count=55486 of=dvb-fe-cx24117.fw

This should give you the following md5sum:

00bb54e462c84c71c052b1812a1c7190  /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24117.fw

Firmware used by TBS Windows driver

TBS Windows driver contains a different version of the firmware from the Linux drivers, but it is not yet known what the differences are. All versions of the TBS Windows drivers from 2.0.1.3 (December 2011) to 2.0.1.6 contain the same firmware version. It can be extracted as follows:

wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/tbs6981/tbs6981-windows-driver_v2.0.1.6.zip
unzip -p tbs6981-windows-driver_v2.0.1.6.zip tbs6981_x86/TBS6981.sys | dd bs=1 skip=166120 count=55352 of=dvb-fe-cx24117.fw

This should give the following checksum:

96ae79acb8e51d90c90fa9759a1ce9df  /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24117.fw
