+-------------
+
+Supported:
+	DEC2000-t

+	Video Streaming
+	Audio Streaming
+	Channel Zapping
+	Hotplug firmware loader under 2.6 kernels
+
+In Progress:
+	DEC3000-s
+
+To Do:
+	Section data
+	Teletext streams
+	Tuner status information
+	DVB network interface
+	Streaming video PC->DEC
+
+Note:	Since section data can not be retreived yet, scan apps will not work.
+
+Getting the Firmware
+--------------------
+Currently, the driver only works with v2.15a of the firmware.  The firmwares
+can be obtained in this way:
+
+wget http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/de/dec215a.exe
+unzip -j dec215a.exe Software/Oem/STB/App/Boot/STB_PC_T.bin
+unzip -j dec215a.exe Software/Oem/STB/App/Boot/STB_PC_S.bin
+
+
+Compilation Notes for 2.4 kernels
+---------------------------------
+For 2.4 kernels the firmware for the DECs is compiled into the driver itself.
+The firmwares are expected to be in /etc/dvb at compilation time.
+
+mv STB_PC_T.bin /etc/dvb/dec2000t.bin
+mv STB_PC_S.bin /etc/dvb/dec3000s.bin
+
+
+Hotplug Firmware Loading for 2.6 kernels
+----------------------------------------
+For 2.6 kernels the firmware is loaded at the point that the driver module is
+loaded.  See linux/Documentation/dvb/FIRMWARE for more information.
+
+mv STB_PC_T.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dec2000t.bin
+mv STB_PC_S.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dec3000s.bin
