Ah, fine. Some of them have been reported to become very hot and finally
faulty. Maybe you could test it on this PC too with some LIVE linux
media.

Should be enough. The NATOMA PCI to PCI quirk is enabled for some faulty
motherboards. Usually works then, but you seem to have still parity
errors.

The problem is, that at least the digital tuner is not detected. So it
is not usable and also not fully powered. Look more carefully at dmesg,
if the analog tuner is at least present. Your early version of the card
should also have a fan, IIRC.

You follow the instructions for Debian. As already printed, on Ubuntu
are some back ported media modules in unusual places. You need to be
root to get them removed or have to do it manually to avoid duplicate
modules. There have also been problems with an incompatible alsa version
there.

> And from output of dmesg | grep saa do You think the card has benn well detected or there is something wrong?

At least the digital tuner is not found at 0x60 and the card can't work.

Have you forced other cards previously, since it also should be auto
detected? Wrong tuner initialization code can make i2c unreliable.

You might try to unload the driver starting with saa7134-alsa and
saa7134-dvb, eject the card then and wait at least 30 seconds before you
give it another try.

You could also try to enable i2c_debug=1 for saa7134. Maybe more errors
become visible, dunno.

Cheers,
Hermann
