Thank you for the fast response!

I just tried doing all of the above (and using all ATSC tuners listed
in CARDLIST.tuner) but nothing changed.  I'm not sure that I would be
defining a tuner as the card is correctly detected, according to
dmesg:
saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:1044, board: AVerMedia AVerTVHD MCE A180
[card=75,autodetected]

And later on, the correct frontend is loaded by dvb:
DVB: registering new adapter (saa7133[0]).
DVB: registering frontend 1 (Nextwave NXT200X VSB/QAM frontend)...

It would appear everything is loading correctly.  From my vast
searches on the web, the only thing that looks like it makes a
difference is that I'm forced to load saa7134 to satisfy a dependency
for saa7134-dvb.  I've blacklisted, removed and spit on the saa7134,
but it makes no difference, it loads everytime.

This is an HDTV tuner card for ATSC in the USA if that helps at all.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again!
