Hm, i have a very similar card, it works for me. But i don't
have a 64 bit system. I can imagine 2 possible reasons

- part of the driver is not 64 bit clean.
- (more likely) The driver currently does not prevent a
collision on the i2c bus if the tuner is attached after i2c gate
of the tda10046. This collision can only occur during card initialization.
I have an idea how to overcome this, but it is not yet implemented.
Meanwhile you can do the following:
please add the following to your modprobe,conf.local:
options saa7134 i2c_scan=1
options tuner debug=1
options tda1004x debug=1
This gives us additional information what exactly happens.
