I think all (in recent 2 year or so) Windows drivers will support 
USB1.1. Windows driver is provided by Afatech, device manufacturers only 
adds correct USB IDs and IR-table for remote they are using. You can 
download this WHQL-driver from Afatech www-site and use it instead.

I think yes. Usually we use SniffUsb2.0 sniffer in real Windows box or 
virtual box using Vmware (supports USB2.0).

Linux driver supports PID-filtering (USB1.1). There is no any check in 
driver against firmware version used, PID-filter should be available 
always. For dual tuner devices there is no PID-filter for 2nd tuner and 
driver will disable 2nd tuner in that case if only USB1.1 port is available.

All AF9015 devices supports PID-filtering by HW. And both Windows and 
Linux driver supports also.
