Could you resolve the problem in finding a Windows 8 driver for FireDTV?
I have the same problem. Upgraded the Windows 8 and need drivers ... :(

    I had problems too with S3 stand-by and the W7 drivers of Floppy DTV 5.7. Solved my issue to go to hibernation S4. Windows 8 is fast starting by itself and running fine.

    Maybe the fast booting option i saw somewhere in Windows 8 is de solution. Have to check if S3 with the fast booting option set to OFF is working.

    With the standard driver in Win8 I also had issues with standbyl. Not only that but if I did anything else than just watch TV (like copying a small file on a SSD or switching windows) I got major stuttering. I didn't try the Thesycon driver but rather installed a copy of the W7 legacy driver. Now it works like a charm again.

    I have tried Thesycon driver, but do not remember what, just some troubles. So reverted to stock FW drivers and leaving on hibernation...

    Perhaps I should mention that I had to disable driver signing, but for me (on a dedicated HTPC) that was a very small prize to pay.

    I have the FireDTV-S2 FireWire TV tuner card ( http://shop.digital-devices.de/Downloads/en/TVKartenDigitalEverywhere ) and was wondering if anyone could offer advice.

    I'm running Windows 8.1 x64 RTM, and copied my files from Windows 7 Professional x64.

    I successfully installed the FireDTV in Administrator and Windows 7 Compatibility Mode. However, running MediaPortal 1.5, I receive "Tuner Not Found" errors when trying to tune into a channel, both with the Thesycon IEEE1394 driver ( http://www.photometrics.com/support/downloads/software/Thesycon-Installer.zip ) and also with the method below:

    1. Locate these files from a Windows 7 machine:

    c:\windows\inf\1394.inf
    c:\windows\inf\1394.pnf
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\1394bus.sys
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\1394ohci.sys
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\ohci1394.sys

    2. Copy all these files into a folder of your choice on your Windows 8 computer.

    3. Press the Win + C keyboard combination to bring up the Charms Bar,
    then click on the Settings Charm.

    4. We need to head into the Modern Control Panel, so go ahead and
    click on the Change PC settings link.

    5. When the Control Panel opens, switch over to the “Update & recovery” section.

    6. Then click on the Recovery option on the left hand side.

    7. Once selected, you will see an advanced startup section appear on
    the right hand side. You will need to click on the “Restart now”
    button.

    8. Once your Computer has rebooted you will need to choose the
    Troubleshoot option.

    9. Then head into Advanced options.

    10. Then Startup Settings.

    11. Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will
    need to restart your Computer one last time.

    12. Finally, you will be given a list of startup settings that you can
    change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature
    enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7
    key.

    13. That’s all there is to it. Your PC will then reboot and you will
    be able to install unsigned drivers without any error message

    (via http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
    and http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-install-an-un-signed-3rd-party-driver-in-windows-8
    )

    14. You can then go into Device Manager:

    15. Expand IEEE 1394 Host Controllers

    16. Right click on your firewire controller and choose Update Driver Software

    17. Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software"

    18. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

    19. Click Have Disk

    20. Click Browse

    21. Browse to the folder where you placed the Win7 FW drivers and click Open.

    22. You can then install the 1394 OHCI (Legacy) driver.

    23. Windows will warn you about unsigned drivers, just accept and
    continue the install.

    24. You will need to reboot, most certainly using the unsigned driver
    / advanced boot method from the link above.

    (via funkyspacecadet's advice at the start of this thread: http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15505 )

    "I can fix the signed issue making you reboot into unsigned mode each time."

    so do a regular reboot...

    25. Once you have installed the legacy driver in unsigned mode,
    reboot, the driver will fail to load and you will have no sound.

    26. Open command prompt as Administrator.

    27. Run the following two commands, both should say The Operation
    Completed Successfully (if not you probably didn't run command prompt
    as Admin)

    bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

    28. Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?hjjjj4y2n1w (if for any
    reason this link dies then google dseo13b.exe)

    29. Run the download and choose to sign a system file.

    30. Type in C:\Windows\System32\DRIVERS\1394bus.sys

    31. Click OK and the file will be signed for use in test mode.

    32. Run the program again and choose sign a system file

    33. Type in C:\Windows\System32\DRIVERS\ohci1394.sys

    34. Reboot and voila, the drivers load and no need to keep rebooting
    into unsigned mode.


    Here are my MD5 / MD5SUMs:
