   choppa_: Apologies if I'm interrupting, could someone please direct me to the correct place to ask for help configuring a DVB-T based tuner on Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon?
   <br> I am having difficulties with a "PCI" card (model DTV2000DS, non plus) as listed https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_WinFast_DTV2000DS - specifically, I note that the card, which is a PCI-based dual DVB-T tuner (VIA USB controller to AF9013/AF9015 USB tuners) - has disappeared from my system after a reboot. It worked after some configuration from a stock install - namely, I had to...
   <br> ...install the dvb-usb-af9015.fw into /lib/firmware/ as I noticed dmesg was telling me there was a firmware missing - however after attempting a w_scan (it found a few items), then shutting down the machine to relocate it to a better vantage point (better reception), and booting it up / rebooting it multiple times, the card is not being detected normally.
   <br> lsusb doesn't list it anymore, lspci still lists the VIA USB controller, and dmesg has only these errors listed, twice:
   <br> &gt; usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd
   <br> &gt; usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
   <br> I've disabled usbcore.autosuspend=-1 in grub, hoping that would solve the issue, but no dice. BIOS is not very powerful / customisable, as it's a Dell based system (Dell OptiPlex 980 to be exact).
   <br> Appreciate any assistance.
