Good morning Roberto,
thanks for the firmware file which finally helped getting my DVB-T
running! I pasted it in the /lib/firmware tree and could get a new message:

When compiling Antti's source I have tried "make install" in one step as
root and got the message that "install" needs additional parameters.
Same happened when trying first only "make" and next "install".

Anyway using Kaffeine my TV is running now! There are some configuration
issues with this program but hopefully I will fix it soon. Thanks again
and have a nice Sunday!

Regards
Detlef
