there is a working driver for Philips SAA713x based tv cards here: http://download.purpe.com/files/saa-REL_14.tgz but it doesn't support Xceive XC3018 Silicon Tuner used on AverTV Hybrid+FM Cardbus. so, at least as a first step XC3018 support should be added to the SAA713x driver. also, probably there is no XC3018 public datasheet available, but the Linux code for XC3018 should be of help.
