wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v130901.zip
unzip -p tbs-linux-drivers_v130901.zip linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 | tar jxOf - linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/tbs6981fe_driver.o.x86_64 | dd bs=1 skip=10144 count=55486 of=dvb-fe-cx24117.fw

This should give you the following md5sum:

wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/tbs6981/tbs6981-windows-driver_v2.0.1.6.zip
unzip -p tbs6981-windows-driver_v2.0.1.6.zip tbs6981_x86/TBS6981.sys | dd bs=1 skip=166120 count=55352 of=dvb-fe-cx24117.fw
