I installed the working image from papasmurfster and downloaded the firmware to /lib/firmware

I do the following steps:   1. Start "w_scan -tc" and stop it immediately with Ctrl-C. This will set the stick in DVB-C mode and leaves it there.
Alternativesly, you can execute "dvb-fe-tool --adapter=0 --frontend=0 --set-delsys=DVBC/ANNEX_A".
2. Restart TVH with "service tvheadend restart" 
3. Now go to http://<yourserver>:9981 and check that the stick is enabled and so on

dmesg | grep dvb shows:
 
si2168 3-0064: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw'
 
This file is under /lib/firmware
 
Edit: now, 1 hour later, dmesg | grep dvb shows nothing! When I start w_scan -fc and stop it after a few seconds, dmesg | grep dvb shows:
 
si2168 3-0064: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw'
si2168 3-0064: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw'
 
After a reboot:
dmesg | grep dvb

When I choose mainline and wheezy, I have other options later:
 
Device Drivers --> I2C-Support --> Multiplexer I2C Chip Support: There are 5 Options
 
and
 
Autoselect ancillary drivers (tubers, sensors, i2c, frontends) [*] is under Device Drivers --> Multimedia Support
 
Edit: Now i have a file Armbian_4.4_Bananapi_Debian_wheezy_4.2.1.zip in /output/images which is only 300MB.
When I unzip this file, I have 3 files: imagewriter.exe, Armbian_4.4_Bananapi_Debian_wheezy_4.2.1.raw an armbian.txt. I can unzip the raw file to 0.img. This file is only 900MB. When I write this image on a sd card, the banana pi does not start with it. When I want to open the sdcard in the explorer, it comes a message, that I have to format the card.
 
What is wrong?
 
Edit: It works!!!
 
Edit: I installed tvheadend. There I can choose the Silicon Labs Si2168 under TV Adapter. When I choose the DVB Network, it search the muxes. But it does not find any services.
Does somebody has any idea?
