Hi Robert, I think most of the people having problems with the saa7134 right now have bought the 'Aldi'-card, which has been on sale last week for an excellent price.
The problem seems to be (Gerd mentioned it in a previous email) that this card does not have an eprom and therefore the id can't be read from the card. Gerd said that he will try to provide a new release later today, which should have fixed it. As I have bought this card too, I'll just wait for the next release.
