12. Step 15: Click 'Finish' & 'Restart Now'

Make sure you have a well tested antenna and your TV card or USB TV tuner is connected when you boot.

If you use a USB tuner or a Dual Tuner card which has USB tuners on the card then you most likely require the dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw firmware file which cannot be included because it's not open source and the licenses. So you will have to search for this, but it's best to download dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw .

$ wget http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/linux-dvb-firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw

Once you have downloaded that file, as root do this command:

# cp dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw
