PCI TV-tuner, the version I have does analog NTSC from cable or antenna input.
Unfortunately, it's not recognized by V4L. I get this message in dmesg:
# dmesg
Linux video capture interface: v2.00

saa7134:

saa7130[0]: board init: gpio is 80c008
saa7130[0]: Huh, no eeprom present (err=-5)?
saa7130[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xc0 [tuner (analog)]
saa7130[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xc2 [???]
"modprobe saa7134 card=3 tuner=0" works. Many other tuner numbers worked, too, with card=3. Video and audio quality is good.
Strange -- the video output doesn't appear on the 'Television' output -- but instead appears on 'Composite2' output. You can only tune channels by using 'Input Configuration', switching to a blue-screen 'Television' and then switching back to 'Composite' to view it.
