Getting the Firmware
--------------------
The firmware can be found in the software update files on this page:
http://www.hauppauge.de/sw_dec.htm

The firmware for the DEC2000-t is called STB_PC_T.bin, and the firmware for
the DEC3000-s is called STB_PC_S.bin.

Note that firmware version 2.16 beta2 for the DEC2000-t has a bug that sets
the device's USB id to that of the DEC3000-s, making it unusable.

Instructions follow for retrieving version 2.15a of the firmware:

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.txt for more information.

mv STB_PC_T.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-ttusb-dec-2000t.fw
mv STB_PC_S.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-ttusb-dec-3000s.fw
