Thanks for all the hard work! I installed http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015 drivers and firmware, rebooted. As expected one tuner recognised (/dev/advb/adaptor0). The Good: A "scan au-Brisbane" picked up every local channel, quite surprising as I was just using the crappy little antenna that came with it. Better yet, MythTV displayed the video on the all the channels with excellent reception - signal strength > 60%, no artifacts. That's better than any of the other tuners I have trialled on this test PC with similar setups, but it is in line with the windows drivers. The TinyTwin just seems to get really good reception when driven correctly. Its worth it for the single tuner alone. The not so good :) I did a "modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 dual_mode=1" and got similar results to Rasjid - adapter1/frontend0 was not created and there were errors about copying the firmware. However on a reboot both frontends were there. Warm start maybe? The Bad: "scan au-Brisbane" Wored ok, but a"scan -a 1 au-Brisbane" caused adapter0 to vanish and adapter1 never found anything.
