I concur. I have been using Malcolm Priestly's patches with both my AF9015 dual tuner cards (which are PCI but still look like USB to the kernel) for a few weeks now and have (finally!) got consistently perfect recordings in MythTV simultaneously with both tuners on a card. Malcolm, when do you think you'll submit these patches to the tree for inclusion? Is there anything else to test?
I agree about the power cycling. Every time I reboot I disconnect the AC supply for 20secs to be sure the cards are power cycled properly - you do the same thing by pulling out the stick.
