Only the tda8275a hybrid can come _close_ to a good can tuner like the FMD1216ME/I H-3 (MK3) on a well designed PCB. Signal quality might be still not sufficient for your card. You also had parity errors on your first report, which likely indicate problems on your mobo at least with this PCI slot and/or sharing interrupts with other devices there. > > Sorry, I don't have better ideas for your card so far. > > I have not included the "tuner" parameter in the "options" line which I think > it could be the problem.

An early tda8275 hybrid with a saa7134 chip would have a separate tda8290 chip for analog IF demodulation. Without that no analog TV and no tuner type to set. For DVB-T the tda8274 is treated like a tda8275.
