This contains the the windows drivers with a shell script to extract the firmware (both for the tuner and the ir receiver - the device apparently won't work without both pieces of firmware). So the device now works on the HP2133 mini-notebook running Ubuntu 8.10. Now onto getting this to run on Fedora 8 and 10. Douglas, thanks for your help.

v4l-dvb compiled and installed perfectly on Fedora 8. (For Ubuntu 8.10,
there were a few warning messages but it still worked fine. There were
no warning messages for Fedora 8.) Xine works fine for Fedora 8.

Unfortunately, there are some errors for Fedora 10. I will post them as
soon as possible.
