saa7134 analogue tuner doesn't work

I have a Compro DVB-T300[1]. Digital television works fine, but analogue TV usually doesn't work, and almost always doesn't tune. My brother has the same issue with the same card in his PC, but curiously has found that running "scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-KilveyHill" (i.e. scanning for digital channels) causes terrestrial channels to appear briefly as it scans past them.

I've managed to work around this problem by altering `/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf`. In place of the following line:

install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist saa7134-alsa ; : ; }

I've put the following lines:

# Load saa7134-alsa instead of saa7134 (which gets dragged in by it anyway)
install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { sleep 1 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist saa7134-alsa ; : ; }

options saa7134 card=70 tuner=0

The "sleep" command is the same workaround as for bug #56801. That bug is fixed for me in Jaunty - I've reintroduced the workaround specifically because it's required to fix this issue.

"card=70" is a device-specific workaround I've taken from [1]. It seems to be necessary, and in any case, fixes what I currently believe to be bug #349537 for me.

"tuner=0" is also device-specific, and I'm pretty sure it's also necessary.

To reiterate, none of the above is necessary to get DVB-T working with this card, except as it relates to bug #349537. The above is a workaround solely for analogue TV.
