Thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket.
Unfortunately the Mythbuntu team does not foresee a time when they will
be able to tackle this issue, so I am closing this ticket.  Please do
not let that action deter you from opening tickets on other issues that
you find!

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Won't Fix
Status in “linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Invalid

Bug description:
Several DVB/ATSC/NTSC combo boards require firmware downloads to enable the ATSC portion.

Including all possible firmwares would undoubtedly cause licensing issues.  The get_dvb_firmware script is referenced in several HOWTOs, and should be trivial to add to the backend packages.
