Thanks for the reply Chase

You may be right about non of the firmware being available will help
solve this issue for the 221544/Kworld PC160 chipset.  I bought the card
specifically for Mythbuntu due to a 'works out of the box' statement
with the new firmware on the Mythbuntu hardware listing pages (Couldn't
afford to stretch to a dual tuner Hauppage card).

The above tests of different firmware were done on the latest 10.4
Mythbuntu, on the recommendation of someone else I'm going to try
reverting to 9.10 Mythbunto and trying the old 4.65 firmware; if that
works I'll post a new bug report.

if it doesn't work I think it's time to throw in the towel with
Mythbuntu because if the firmware isn't going to be sorted out (And I
understand that at the end of day it's always someone's precious free
time that's got to be used to sort it out)  it's just a glorified DVD
player to me, shame really wanted a LAMP stack media centre but although
I would hate to admit defeat it'll then be a Windows Media Centre.

The firmware that comes for af9015 is not the latest version and it has an issue that blasts dmesg with this two error messages:
