trying to install firmware for HDTV wonder, but I am stuck

I installed the kernel source
Anyway can someone give me a proper command to run?

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI/AMD_HDTV_Wonder

Quote:
This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw1) for the demodulator, which can be obtained using the get_dvb_firmware perl script included in the kernel sources:
# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/
# perl get_dvb_firmware nxt2004
Once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).
I have tried this so far

Code:
root@scott-P5QC:/home/scott# 
root@scott-P5QC:/home/scott# uname -r
3.13.0-63-generic
root@scott-P5QC:/home/scott# cd /[3.13.0-63-generic]/Documentation/dvb/
bash: cd: /[3.13.0-63-generic]/Documentation/dvb/: No such file or directory
root@scott-P5QC:/home/scott# apt-get install linux-source

ok, those instructions on the wiki page are no good.
from here

Here is how to get the file so easy!

In truth, I did this back in 2013 as well, so the linux wiki is broken.
