Comment 6 for bug 458444

When I use firmware 4.65 the tuner works and lock on all available dvb tv stations but I get the repeated errors in dmesg.
"af9015: command failed:255
dvb-usb: error while querying for an remote control event."

When I use firmware 4.7~ and 4.95 I do not get the errors but the tuner will not lock on a station.
I am using karmic 2.6.31-14 with no updates in Australia
I do not need to use the remote as its on my headless backend.
Is there a way I can disable the polling altogether?
