It seems you can get the firmware with the incantation below
(instruction from http://james-lloyd.com/xbmc-live/):

  wget http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/drivers/88x_2_124_27191_1_WHQL.zip
  unzip -jo 88x_2_124_27191_1_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys
  sudo dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.26.90.0.fw skip=105768 bs=1 count=32674

Need to see what licence this is available under.  Use at your own risk.
