how I originally set it up.  I only use it for ATSC..  Others have tried
getting the NTSC to work and failed.  Also, I'm in the USA.  I kind of
remember having to use the mercurial drivers to start with, but I believe
support for this board is now in the kernel.  I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
32 bit.(2.6.32).  I do have two v4l-cx23885 firmware files in my
/lib/firmware directory but am not sure if they are still used or not:

a9f8f5d901a7fb42f552e1ee6384f3bb */lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw
a9f8f5d901a7fb42f552e1ee6384f3bb */lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw

Hope this helps.
