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

[Steven Brown]

I have a couple of these Leadtek_Winfast_DTV_Dongle_Gold USB devices
now.  One I bought about a year ago and had been running fine in karmic
after I downloaded the latest drivers and firmware (4.95).  Locks onto
channels and also the remote works without issue.

However I bought some more the other day with the idea of upgrading the
box to dual tuners.  The problem is that both the new devices I bought
show the same problem as rileyp.  Lock channels with 4.65 firmware but
remote doesn't work.  In the 4.95 firmware the remote works but the
device rarely is able to get a lock on channels.

Not sure if this information is helpful as I'm not sure what differences
there could be between the device I bought a year ago and the two I
bought recently.

I believe the version of the firmware with the bundled CD for windows
was 4.95.  I also checked the latest version of the Windows drivers
which seemed to contain a version 5.10 firmware but the linux drivers
output errors after I tried to load up that firmware that it couldn't
calibrate various systems and whatever.  It also may have just been a
problem with the dump I made from the Windows drivers.

I hope this information might help other people having similar issues
with these devices.
