Many cards have an eeprom with the firmware on the board. The TDA10046 automatically tries to boot from this. The eeprom address is controlled with a GPIO pin. IF this pin changes while the chip boots, it will crash and possibly not recover. This entrie mechanism is hard to control. The card specific configuration structures tda1004x_config in saa7134-dvb.c have a entry .gpio_config. Please change this to TDA10046_GP01_I or try card type 81.
