To get the update, all you need to do is issue the following command as root:
rpi-update
If you are doing a fresh install, it is recommended to to do this before running the install scripts.

On the RaspberryPi download site there is available a new raspbian image, actually this:
2015-02-16-raspbian-wheezy.zip downloadable from here:
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest
I dindot check the changelog pages, but it seems, they corrected/updated some small errors.
I downloaded it, and made a fresh install, based on it.
Its basic version info:
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.18.7+ #755 PREEMPT Thu Feb 12 17:14:31 GMT 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux
To download, and install the outernet softwares based on the install.sh script, it is esay, dont produce any problem.
After the first start, resizeing the SD card filesystem, and enable the ssh server, it recognize the PCTV 461e receiver. It need some config step, and it can access from wired connection, as a working device.
I tryed to make the wifi AP setup too. (with a wifi dongle, based on atheros-chipset). It seems, they changed the supported modules. The setap.sh script intall some needed packages, and after finished without any working setup. I made some manual config, based more or less on the raspberry AP setup howto here:
RPI-Wireless-Hotspot - eLinux.org
but its far from a stable, finished setup: after any restart need some manual steps, if I want to access it from wired and wifi side too.
Consequently it need to modify the setap.sh script for this new image version.
I put here the modules list, it can see the new modules for the AP setup.

Thanks for this. Currently doing a Librarian overhaul so I’ll take care of it as soon as that’s done.
