Analog tv (tuner) and DVB-T can only work if the card type is properly
detected or its type is forced to a compatible one.
Please try the following:
Unload at least the modules saa7134, tuner and saa7134-dvb.
Then do
modprobe saa7134 card=55
modprobe saa7134-dvb
There is a good chance that this works.

Good luck
