I have a twin-tuner cheapo device bought from Maplin several months ago and identified in dmesg as 'TwinHan AzureWave AD-TU700(704J)'. Sections of dmesg that seem to belong to it are given below.<br>
<br>
I've found that it often gives good recordings, but can't be relied on to do so, so I have used it as my third dvb device. Consequently it's usually scheduled only when several other recordings are also being made and the system is fairly busy. When only one of its tuners is in use the recording is usually good, but I've recently had apparently good recordings from the second tuner that have just stopped. Sample backend log below. I think that I inverted the 'natural' order of the tuners in mythtv-setup, so this is device 0.<br>
<br>
Following a suggestion posted recently in a thread dealing with a related device (KWorld DVB-T PC160-2T) I've added /etc/modprobe.d/no-af9015-remote.conf containing 'options dvb-usb-af9015 remote=-1'. I think the recording quality may be better after that, but a good recording that suddenly stops isn't ideal.<br>
<br>
Is any one successfully using this device? I think Nick Morrott said he had one, but that was very soon after purchase.<br><br></blockquote><div>I don't have 'this' device, but I have a af9015 usb device which gave me nightmares for a while until someone suggested downgrading the firmware.<br>
<br>This may be not help, but the firmware was dvb-usb-af9015.fw-4.95.0 (which is the recommended firmware for my device) but switching to the dvb-usb-af9015.fw-4.65.0 firmware improved things a great deal. (Your mileage may vary ;-])<br>
<br>There were two other versions of the firmware in between these releases, but I haven't tried either.<br><br><br>Rodd<br></div></div>
