AVerMedia TV+FM CardBus E506R
AVermedia released their card with binary only driver for Mandriva and FC3/4. For ancient kernels of course. Due to licensing from chip vendor and the fact that AVerMedia is a proud GPL violator -- they do not bother publishing source for their driver that is actually based on V4L.
Looking inside the card we can see that it is:
- Philips SAA7135HL PCI Audio/Video Broadcast Decoder - Xceive XC3028 Silicon Tuner - Zarlink MT352 Digital Terrestrial TV Demodulator
So...
Excuse me for beeing dumb and stupid, but I just took Marcus' code for Em2880 from his repository at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mrechberger/v4l-dvb
And added XC3028 tuner defintion to SAA7134 code, leaving gpio initialization as for AverMedia E500 card.
Guess what? It worked :)

Also you should use tv-audio.c patch from AVerMedia_Cardbus_Plus_E501R E501R card how-to
So... someone, please assign E506R valid card id insted 99, cleanup and include this code to the tree, etc.
I'm going to go enjoy my TV ;)
