I finally got my SABRENT card (card=42) to work, using 'kdetv' (and other tv-viewers). The KEY think was to make an educated guess (and guess right) at the 'tuner=<nr>' option (in modprobe.conf). For my SABRENT PCI card, it was 'tuner=69', and then suddenly, all the tv-tuner programs started working!
