There are many saa713x based cards without eeprom. It stores the vendor ID and
- in many cases - the board configuration. For you this means
- you need to find out the configuration the hard way
   * identify the chips on the card
   * find the input configuration by try and error
- You will always need to force the card type with a card=xxx option, there is
   no way to automatically identify the card.

So please have a close look at the card and write down all chip types. Is there
a metal box with the antenna connector on the card? What is its type?
