saa7130[0]: found at 0000:00:0b.0, rev: 1, irq: 193,

and now tvtime works fine.

when finishing watching TV, I have to rmmod saa7134
because sound continues on, even without picture.  I
can live with that.  Try to find relevant information
for your tv card and try the given advice.

Regards,

Antonio
