Well, if it really died due to overheating, then this will no longer
help. These TV cards can get quite hot and have been known to die in
the case of insufficient cooling.

No, that's just the error you get when the driver can't initialize the
card for whatever reason. In this case because it can't find a special
address.

Well, it looks like it is broken to me. But the final test is always to
try it under Windows. I'm not sure what I can do about it either. Make
sure you have udev version > 0.95, older versions have some nasty race
conditions that might lead to firmware corruption. Unlikely to be the
case since you seem to be running a pretty recent system.
