Do you have the analog audio out connected to your sound card or are you
fiddling with saa7134-oss or saa7134-alsa? I would expect radio tuning
manually working on 2.6.18. On saa7134-alsa you might have to switch the
record flag on the saa7134 mixer to the TV input, not needed anymore
with the current.

For radio there should be a TDA8275AC1 silicon tuner with a huge 5.5MHz
ceramic filter.

The originally supported card comes up with gpio init 7f in "dmesg".
There is a newer version with a completely different layout and a KS003
chip for the i2c remote. This one comes up with gpio init 0x040, but for
all what I know radio should work as well. Did somebody test it?

For installing a "mercurial" v4l-dvb snapshot from linuxtv.org you find
instructions in the INSTALL file within there. Basically it is just to
enable kernel development environment for your distribution and "make"
and "make install". Unload the old modules or reboot after it.

If you can't get to work, please send relevant "dmesg" output for the
card after loading the modules, maybe another variant again.

Cheers,
Hermann
