Dear Alfredo,

Thank you for helping me.

Yes, I have the same board. 713XTV VRE:J

I'm using tv-time and scantv. I've also tried VLC and Mplayer. I will 
try xawtvand.

Country: Pakistan, TV Standard: PAL-B
Since the proper tuner is not getting detected, I can't scan for 
channels. BTW I tried the card in a windows box borrowed from my cousin. 
The card works fine.

I will try different card/tuner combinations but since there are 50+ 
cards and 50+ tuners, you can imagine the number of combinations :)
Plus I can't seem to unload the saa7134 module using "modprobe -r" or 
"rmmod"...It gives a FATAL module in use error. So I have to reboot the 
machine every time to set new card/tuner which SUCKS.

In the jpeg link I posted in the earlier message, I have labelled all 
the onboard chips. Have a look again:

I can't seem to find which chip is the tuner. I emailed Kworld support, 
they say its a TENA TNF9533BDF/BK tuner. I can't find any chip onbaord 
with this name!

Anyways thanks again.
