The same hardware setup worked without problems on Debian Stretch and
MythTV 29, but when I upgraded to Debian Buster and MythTV 30 I started
to get this problem (and some other that I have resolved).

What I see in dmesg is:
[    6.117142] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
[    6.118199] usb 13-1: firmware: direct-loading firmware dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw
...
[    6.396173] dib0700: firmware started successfully.
