This issue affecting me too, just as others have said here. I have a new system lubuntu 16.04, and running mythtv.

Everything works, although it does take some time for the tuner to change channels and I can't say if the firmware (or lack of it) is affecting this. I would love to see some resolution or workaround for this. I'm happy to provide more information from my sysem if it will help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326761 Title: Tevii S471 DVB-S2 card hangs on firmware upload To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1326761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
