Hi Francois,

the original saa7134 files in the 2.6.11 kernel lack the additional code
and information found in the additional video4linux code from bytesex.org 
!

Are you sure, your card is a 200i ?

Your lspci output looks very much like mine.

This looks exactly like what I saw on my system before I compiled the 
additional video4linux code from bytesex.org !

Because the code and data in the original 2.6.11 kernel code lack the 
additional information found in the video4linux code from bytesex.org !

Take a look at the file saa7134_cards.c to see what I mean. There are less
than 50 cards defined so the "card=50" parameter is useless unless you 
have the additional video4linux code compiled and installed !

With card=26 you may view analogue TV but no digital TV.

Because the card is not defined in the kernel code saa7134_cards.c !

What you have done is mistake the kernel's video4linux code with the one
from bytesex.org, you need both to make your card work !
