[Charlie Kempson <683118@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a further note for anyone else affected by this bug - whilst there
is definitely a driver issue (in my opinion) with the af9015 which
relates to an inability to recover from tuning errors and is therefore
more of an issue for people exposed to low signal strength, I have
managed to work around this in my particular situation as follows:

1) Under the MythTV backend settings, under Capture Cards, for each tuner card, I have set the Tuning Timeout (ms) to the maximum allowed (15000), and under the Tuning Options screen set the DVB tuning delay (ms) to 2000.  
2) In addition, under the Input Connections, I have the "Use Quick Tuning" set to "Always".
3) Lastly, this set up seems to work *much* more reliably with the 4.65 firmware than the 4.95 firmware.

I hope this helps others.
