I am not angry, just confused and a little frustrated. As I said, it's not like I just butted after a day or so after posting my first message after not getting a response. And I did do some resaerch - but the only info I found was that I needed a firmware called tda1004x.bin - but as I already have that in my /hotplug/firmware folder - I simply assumed that it must be the wrong version. The frustrating thing is that it worked fine until a couple of weeks ago - and only broke after an apt-get dist-upgrade (which if I recall did mention something about firmware). This is about firmware however, as I get the same old 'firmware upload failed' message that you tend to get whenever there is either the wrong kind of firmware or no firmware installed. As for your advice on how to get a reply, I did follow this the first time round - although this seems to have only served to get me ignored. Nonetheless I don't want to sound like a jackass - and I applogies unreservedly if in any way I did.
