Do you mind me asking what you ended up with?

I've got similar problems with af9015. I have a Tevion stick that works 
with the V4L HG tree and 4.65 firmware but locks up the machine with the 
git tree and/or any other firmware version. I also have a KWorld 399U 
which causes the machine to lock up with any firmware/driver version 
I've tried.

Previous to these I had 3 WT-220U sticks running stable in an Epia 
mythtv backend. I 'upgraded' the backend to an AMD system and all 3 
started locking up the system - hence the move to af9015!
