No, LifeView announced such, but Creatix had already this one and later
even the Medion Quad.

The card is not fully investigated and not functional for DVB-S yet and
Michael disabled the second saa7134 recently. DVB-T and DVB-S is
announced at once.

For other cards in the special blue PCI Slot on this kind of OEM
machines we know both PCI bridges work at once without problems, for
example on the later Medion Quad Tuner, but here the second is expected
to be used with the not yet supported DVB-S.

The tuner is marked, according a report on the video4linux-list

2005/05 EJ 11
> 3112 297 13801 SD1878/SHA        50537209

and there is the unsupported tda1008.

Analog and DVB-T is expected to be functional on the hybrid FMD1216ME
and the first saa7134.

Try modprobe saa7134-dvb.

The analog sound is not connected to the red MPC2 connector and
soundcard/mobo. So you need saa7134-alsa or saa7134-oss for that or try
to add the cable.

Cheers,
Hermann
