I have Fuj:tech DTV PRO DVBT-UT2000 which uses same Afatech AF9015 drivers from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/ (and firmware from http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l- dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/4.95.0/dvb-usb- af9015.fw). It worked previously with Ubuntu 8.04, but I have same problem as you with Ubuntu 8.10.
