Thanks,

I see the drivers for both TDA18271HDC2 and TDA8290 loaded.
I thought TDA18271HDC2 was the digital channel decoder, isn't it? Is
the "digital channel decoder" different from the digital tuner??
Should be looking for a different chip?

Based on these to chips, I added my card in  saa7134_tda8290_callback
to call saa7134_tda8290_18271_callback and here is the output of my
dmesg:
[  828.879454] dvb_init() allocating 1 frontend
[  829.180234] nxt200x: nxt200x_readbytes: i2c read error (addr 0x0a, err == -5)
[  829.180244] Unknown/Unsupported NXT chip: 00 00 00 00 00
[  829.180542] saa7133[0]/dvb: frontend initialization failed
