[linux-dvb] Lifeview hybrid saa7134 driver not working anymore

[scoop_yo at freemail.gr]

Considering your reply, I started today by changing the card to all PCI slots and powering on and off the machine each time, until when I put the card to the bottom PCI it worked again ! Then I tried all other slots again and it was working this time. That is some weird card behaviour !

Thanks for the tip.
