Please be advised that the posting policy on this mailing list is to

It's irritating that I have to tell this to people repeatedly, and I'm
sure its even more irritating for others that have to constantly read my
complaints about it.
Nothing against you -- please don't top-post in the future.
Anyway, Damien.... Please try the latest driver in the v4l-dvb master
branch -- recent changesets have improved driver performance, and you
should not have the problems anymore that you have described, above.
The AU-specific firmware images have been deprecated, in favor of a much
better driver that works regardless of location. Standard firmware is
not used, instead.
