Ensure you have a copy of the kernel source (and development tools) installed.
Extract the v4l-dvb source somewhere and change into the directory. Use
something like 'patch -p1 < xc-bluebird.patch' to apply Mikes patch, then do
the same thing for mine. Then do a 'make all' to build the modules followed by
a 'make install' to install them. Install the firmware as mentioned below.
Then you'll need to ensure at least the following modules are loaded and
preferably in order:
dvb-core
dvb-usb
dvb-pll
xc3028-fe
zl10353
dvb-usb-cxusb
Someone with Ubuntu experience will have to help with this if you're having
trouble.

For now you need to download firmware_v3.tgz; its location is mentioned at the
top of Mikes patch. This will need to go into your firmware directory which is
typically /lib/firmware but may be different depending on your distribution
(another request for Ubuntu users to help). Place the firmware file I supplied
into the same directory. Move the original 7MHz firmware aside and then
symlink to the au file. ie assuming bash 'mv xc3028_DTV7_2633.i2c.fw{,.orig}'
then 'ln -s xc3028.au2.fw xc3028_DTV7_2633.i2c.fw'.
Hopefully this will get you up and running.
Roger.
