Trying to get a Medion DVB card to work

Hi,

I am trying to get a DVB card working which has been built into a Medion/Aldi PC around a year ago, using Kanotix-VDR (Kernel 2.6.16.16).

As this was one of the first solutions that offered DVB-T, DVB-S and analogue TV on one card, I believe that this is a LifeView clone as this company was the only one at that time that produced cards with this capabilities.


This is what I get from lspci:

0000:03:01.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Creatix Polymedia GmbH Medion 7134
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Latency: 32 (21000ns min, 8000ns max)
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 225
	Region 0: Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
	Capabilities: <available only to root>

0000:03:04.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Creatix Polymedia GmbH: Unknown device 0005
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Latency: 32 (21000ns min, 8000ns max)
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 233
	Region 0: Memory at d8002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
	Capabilities: <available only to root>


Although it says "unknown device 0005" in the second place, I believe to get success messages with dmesg - at least for the DVB-T part that I need:

Unfortunately, VDR finally does not seem to find a working DVB device.

Any hints?

With kind regards
