  I have the AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM PCI A16D which, from what I
can see, is basically your card in PCI form. (same tuner, same demod,
same driver, same firmware, etc...)

  I am successfully using the same firmware your output below shows.

If you see my dmesg output[1] I have a DVB registration after the
analogues. Perhaps the saa7134-dvb module may not be being loaded.
What does the output of `lsmod|grep saa7134` give?
See mine[2], (N.B. I'm missing saa7134-alsa which enables audio for analogue)

cheers,
Owen.
