That explains it. Didn't count through the card numbers, because I
thought that saa7134-0.2.1 may be a typo somewhere, but it is really
that old version then.

So when you have it working with the cinergy 400, there is another
question now: Is the card out with different tuners? The current
settings assume a MK3 (tuner=38) and you get it to run with the older
PHILIPS_PAL (tuner=5).

Thanks,
