New DVB receiver

I went today to the store to ask about the service of the faulty receiver. Found out that Artec T14 was unavailable, so I got T14BRLite instead. T14BR is also supported by the kernel I'm using, but it needs another firmware, which can be found from here.

After putting the firmware to /lib/firmware receiver started to work, but I noticed a problem with the T14BR's built-in IR-receiver. I got error messages to the log saying "unknown remote command". I googled around and found out that the IR-receiver can be disabled by putting following line into /etc/modprobe.d/options 

options dvb_usb disable_rc_polling=1

After that the receiver started to work fine. Actually the reception seems to be better than with T14.

I also continued to work with the scripts, which should be in quite good shape now.
