How to get Terratec Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity TV adaptor to work

I've just installed Arch 2008 and one of the things I was anxious to get working was my Terratec Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity adaptor, so I could watch Freeview TV here in the UK.
I have the adaptor working fine with another PC running Linux Mint - all I did was plug it in, launch Kaffeine and scan for channels, but in Arch there's a bit more work to be done.
Here's how I got it working.
First, you need the firmware for the adaptor: dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw.
I got it from here: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettc … 00-1.10.fw
Then you need to launch a terminal and, as root, copy the firmware file into /lib/firmware
Then, still in a terminal, do:
modprobe dvb_usb_dib0700
modprobe mt2266
Then restart your machine and, once you launch Kaffeine, you will find the TV adaptor working and you're able to scan for channels.
Hope this helps someone. wink

If you have the newer version (0081), like me, you need to patch the kernel.
I also use the 1.20 firmware with a symlink.
