latest news on that seems to be that you were working on cleaning up the code of the Realtek-provided GPL driver, with the goal of eventually getting it into mainline. Ah, does the Realtek branch have support for DAB(+) and FM? In Windows the chip can do DAB+ and FM as well as DVB-T. The

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

I think what might happening is that TS packets are getting chopped, as device seems to want to align to max packet size. Oh, I also noticed that the Linux driver uses a smaller USB packet count than Windows. Is there any discernible reason for this? Lag on DVB isn't an issue for me and

I might have found one bug so far with the Afa9013 driver. As part of refactoring the code in http://git.linuxtv.org/linux-2.6.git/commitdiff/edb709b61abd3ba475e59d1ad81aab21ad025db6 I think one of the u32-u8 calculations is wrong. The think the second last u32 in the tables has to be changed.

Hi Hermann, Hopefully it does help in that other case. I have it working now. I had to add a delay of 120 seconds in the mythtv backend script to allow the driver enough time to scan both cards and install the firmware properly. Previously the mythtv backend at startup was trying to talk to

I seem to have fixed the problem for now. It's the hoary old problem of Mythtv's backend coming up and accessing the cards before the firmware has loaded onto the cards. Adding in a startup delay to myth-backend's init script has solved the problem, for now. The firmware seems to load now on
