Hi,

The firmware you're referring to is for the xc3028 tuner chip, which
is used by lots of different hardware (including various em28xx and
tm6000 based hardware). IIRC, the tm6000-based hardware supposedly
needs a different firmware to the one used by anything else, but the
driver still shouldn't report the firmware file as corrupt.

Incidentally, if you're using http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/tm6000 I
suspect you should be using http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/tm6010
instead - it seems to be the more up-to-date version. (In particular,
the firmware file format may have changed since tm6000, which would
explain your problems.)

Aidan
