Hello Jonas Andren.
(Kom inte o säg att Anden är dansk)

The Harware I have, I have said.  Its the media-card, is this: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Asus_My_Cinema-P7131_Hybrid
(running on a amd64, mother-board m2a-vm.. Inköpt på Kjell&Co byggsats 
för 2 veckor sedan...

I also said that the same Media-card did function (somewhat) on my old 
computer (a PII330MHz, though with terrible video result). And it works 
in Windows XP. So, the Media-card function.

I downloaded&installed  linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.tar.bz2 
<http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.tar.bz2>
(and all so called utils: "dvbdate" "dvbtrafick" "scan" and "zap" 
worked. BUT, nothing under the test)

Your tips, with "mplayer dvb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]", produce:

I turned on some debug options on kernel-module "saa7134" .
Eew, the line "modprobe saa7134 video_debug=1 ts_debug=1 i2c_debug=1 
i2c_scan=1"

If I use i2c_scan=1, I get these lines as:
Feb 10 15:20:37 redeb kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 79 ERROR: NO_DEVICE
Feb 10 15:20:37 redeb kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 7b ERROR: NO_DEVICE

Feb 10 15:20:37 redeb kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 7f ERROR: NO_DEVICE
(there where many many more...

And when I zap, I get lines as:

my dmesg are messed up with debugging messages now.
