Can you test the v4l-dvb tree from linuxtv.org (*not* the standalone
pvrusb2 driver) and tell me if this issue persists?

The TDA18271 getting i2c errors is an issue that I identified and
fixed weeks ago -- maybe you're mixing and matching bad versions...
If you test the master v4l-dvb tree on linuxtv.org, all should be
working well.

Please let me know if that works fine.

Assuming it DOES work properly, then please try to install the
standalone pvrusb2 driver against the v4l-dvb sources -- this should
*not* re-introduce the same issue.  Please let us know if otherwise.
