You may be right about non of the firmware being available will help
solve this issue for the 221544/Kworld PC160 chipset. I bought the card
specifically for Mythbuntu due to a 'works out of the box' statement
with the new firmware on the Mythbuntu hardware listing

links to) is not a reliable location for hardware driver support or
information on which devices are suitable and stable. This is however
well beyond the scope of this bug ticket, and should be taken up with

Paul, one caveat with the firmware - it won't be reloaded onto cards
that are still in a warm state and USB cards often retain that status
even after a reboot - if you look at dmesg you can usually see a message

You should be able to disable polling by passing remote=-1 to the
dvb-usb-af9015 module. e.g.
echo options dvb-usb-af9015 remote=-1 /etc/modprobe.d/no-af9015-remote.conf
