Been tinkering around with this. dmesg shows this out put
<snip>
dvb-usb: did not find the firmware file. (dvb-usb-avertv-a800-02.fw)
Please see linux/Documentation/dvb/ for more details on
firmware-problems. (-2)
dvb_usb_a800: probe of 3-4:1.0 failed with error -2
usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_a800
<snip>
Now I have the manufacturers windoz driver disk. What would the firmware file 
look like, (file extension?) and if its not on the disk where can I find it? 
How do I tell FC to load it preferably automatically at boot. Though I would 
all so like to know how to do it manually so I can test it without rebooting 
while I fix this. Also where can I find linux/Documentation/dvb/ would it be 
on my hard drive or on Red Hats website?
