Think no. My proxy-cache wasn't up to date and I didn't read
saa7134-cards.c again, so I didn't know of the new md7134 combo and
first guessed there is a md9717.
There was already a picture and description of the card including the
chips at
bttv-gallery.(http://home.t-online.de/home/gunther.mayer/bttv/bttv-gallery.html)
You should have this card with the TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1216ME_MK3
(FM1216ME/I H-3), need_tda9887 = 1.In tuner.h it is tuner=38.
In saa7134.h this MD7134 is defined as card=12. Tested on latest stuff?

On those md7134-combos, where card=6 is reported to work in forums,
should be an TUNER_PHILIPS_PAL, tuner=5 (FM1216ME/I hm in this case is
confirmed for one Titanium MD 8000 XL from last year.)
This type is larger and fills fully the space reserved for the tuner on
the layout.
