I have a SAA7134 based card which I was running with xdtv. I haven't
tried tvtime, but I know I did have trouble selecting the right tuner
for the card. Mine was a Flyvideo 3000 without FM radio, which has a
different tuner than the one with FM. Not sure what the DSE one uses.
It was one hell of a "learning experience" getting the bugger to work.
