Looks like you may have to pass a 'tuner=#' option too, isn't cheap noname hardware just so much fun? I used a script to do it quicker.
Here is a slightly modified one that should work with your drivers.
Code:
#/bin/sh
MAXTUNER=69
for i in $(seq 0 $MAXTUNER);
do
rmmod tuner em28xx
modprobe em28xx card=4 tuner=$i
echo "Actual tuner is:" $i
sleep 1 # this is to make sure /dev/video is registered when tvtime starts
tvtime
done

How are you sure your card option is 35? My card works with more than one option, but I get stuff like inputs being switched, only s-video input...etc...etc....
