Some extra information about the lockups of my AF9015, this is a serious
blocker issue for me. It happens when I watch a channel with totem-xine
and switch to an other channel, the device is then unable to lock to the
new channel, and totem-xine hangs. There are no messages in dmesg.

Rebooting the system does not help getting the device working again, the
only way i found is to replug the usb device and this is not an option
for my systems because the usb devices are hidden.

Is there an other USB DVB-T device that works out of the box with the
2.9.30 kernel? Could somebody show me a link or name of this device so I
can buy and test it?

Thanks in advance,
