You guys know best, but is there really no way to tell these apart? Is there not some PnP ID, Vendor ID, or something that'd be different between the cards? I see they both have the same tuner signature. Same I2C list too (0xc2)? Is there an EEPROM on this card (I notice ioctl(BT848_REEPROM) fails for Gianmarco's Avermedia; does this mean it doesn't have one or we just don't know how to read it)? So sysctl seems convenient if we "have" to resort to forcing the user to tell us what card they've got, but auto-detecting if at all possible would be a bug plus for usability and save a lot of questions (FR1236 tuners, etc.etc.).
