Hi everyone,
I have the qt1010 based AF9005 and find it has VERY unreliable tuning in
Linux. It just fails to lock onto channels, even after it has
successfully scanned them The problem does not exist at all in WindowsXP
using BlazeDVT. What I've discovered is the *XP driver* supplied on CD
with the AF9005 usb stick works very well with it, whereas other drivers
I've downloaded from the afatech website give poor tuning (giving less
bars in Signal Strength).
Current Linux qt1010 driver seems to perform better when signal is weak.
With strong signals it does not lock very reliable.
I did note on the LinuxTV/dvb-tv forums that others were having the same
problem, probably because of the qt1010 tuning (very choppy in Linux,
fine in Windows). There are no tweaks available as per the mt2060.
The driver that works very well with XP has been uploaded to

Thanks. I will try to disasm it to see what is differently.
Would anyone be willing to extract the firmware from it for use in
Linux? This would be specific qt1010 firmware. I've tried using usbsnoop
and various filters to try to replay the USB sequence and have not
gotten anywhere.
There is no firmware download needed by the qt1010.
Any other tips on Linux qt1010/AF9005 tuning would be much appreciated.
I am hopeful the qt1010 specific firmware will give better results with
Linux. Would not need to boot into XP anymore to watch TV:)
You should wait a little. I am doing some work here slowly...
