Problem Recognising Hauppauge Nova T USB TV Tuner

This has been supported by the kernel for a long time. When I plug it in I see:

The Wiki page recommends loading dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw, but this seems to have disappeared from the Internet. In any case I think usb should have recognised the device. Just to check it wasn't a hardware fault, I plugged the stick into an Ubuntu box, where it works perfectly. Also the Ubuntu box doesn't have dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw, so  think this may not be required.

I have also tried downloading and installing the latest v4l source, but I still get the same error. A bit of googling suggests that the error may be caused by the driver not being compiled into the version of the kernel I am using. However, I am using the stock Arch kernel which is 3.7.9-2-ARCH on this box.

Edit:

Just out of interest I plugged into a Raspberry Pi running Arch and it works fine there:

Mar 01 09:50:04 archpi kernel: input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/u...input0
Mar 01 09:50:04 archpi kernel: rc0: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb...rc/rc0
Mar 01 09:50:04 archpi kernel: dvb-usb: schedule remote query interval to 50 msecs.
Mar 01 09:50:04 archpi kernel: dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T Stick successfully initialized and connected.
