This has nothing to do with the firmware.
There is one special issue with this type of cards: they have the so-called
silent i2c ports of the tda8290 and the tda10046 shortened. This is a bad
idea. Maybe they learned and changed this during production and cut the
connection between the tda8275a and tda10046. This would explain what you
observed.
If you are able to help yourself, you can download the latest code from
http://www.linuxtv.org and i can sent you an experimental patch.

ok?
