[Bug 458444] Re: dvb-usb-af9015 should be updated to the latest version to resolve some issues

 

Paul, one caveat with the firmware - it won't be reloaded onto cards
that are still in a "warm" state and USB cards often retain that status
even after a reboot - if you look at dmesg you can usually see a message
along the lines of "warm state, firmware not uploaded" on some such.

Before chucking the towel in :) I'd recommend installing the *4.95*
firmware, shutting down the PC, unplugging it from the wall and
physically removing the usb tuner. Give it a few minutes, plug the tuner
back in and turn the PC back on.

Review your dmesg output (dmesg|less) and see if you can find mention of
your card - a seach for af90 should find it. See if its uploading the
firmware and what version it is.

Then if it all seems ok, move onto tuning.

Cheers,

Lindsay

Binary package hint: linux-firmware-nonfree

The firmware that comes for af9015 is not the latest version and it has an issue that blasts dmesg with this two error messages:
af9015: command failed:255
dvb-usb: error while querying for an remote control event.

The latest firmware version 0.95 solves this issue:
