[...] Well, it is still very easy to install the latest remaining v4l-dvb from hg/mercurial for a quick test too. I don't have your hardware, but all my stuff is still fine there so far. AFAIR, your device, added by Hartmut, has some sort of TD1316 without an extra tda9887 IF demodulator for analog reception soldered outside of the tuner on the PCB. However, it is in a loop for eeprom auto detection on the side of the bridge. If that fails, and for my experience four of five attempts to fiddle with that later did fail, you don't have a chance for any DVB either. You might have to force the card number in such a case, but I'm still far away from what might be going on and your report is without any details so far.
