Thanks for the response.  I am having one *$%# of a time getting one
working.  In trying everything 'suggested' around the web, I wanted to
see if I could load only the saa7134-dvb without the saa7134 because
it seems to be suggested 'here and there' including the mythtv wiki,
for this card.

I've got a pcHDTV 5500 working no problem, and I've had (in the past,
but it's gone now) an HD3000 working as well.  So I figure I can
pretty well figure out how to make the HDTV tuner cards work, but this
one is stumping me.

I run dvbscan and (once it gets to actual channels) I get:
>>> tune to: 599028615:8VSB (tuning failed)
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 605028615:8VSB

--------------------


And increasing the timeout (with the -5 option) changes nothing.  I've
also tried using QAM just to see if it's something in the card hating
8VSB, but there is little difference.  Just for kicks I tried, and
this card also gives me nothing inside of mythtv ;)

Thanks!
