tv tuner - help!

I have a tv card with chip saa7133, thus the saa7134 driver is needed.
Since I need to modprobe saa7134 with a "tuner=" parameter
I tried this script:

#/bin/sh
MAXTUNER=70
i=0
while [ $i -lt $MAXTUNER ];
do
           rmmod tuner saa7134
                       modprobe saa7134 card=2 tuner=$i
                       echo "Actual tuner is:" $i
                       sleep 1
                       tvtime
         i=$(($i+1))
done

And I get a picture when tuner=4. However it stays on one station no matter what I do (and I have tried everything I could think of); changing the channel has no effect at tuner=4.

In the gentoo wiki it says the correct parameters for my card is card=2 tuner=2, but I get nothing with that.

The card is working fine -- tested it in windows.
Any help?

edit: also according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134, tuner=4 is "NoTuner," which is... weird?

You can see /usr/src/linux-($uname -r)/include/media/tuner.h file for 'tuner' parameter and /usr/src/linux-($uname -r)/drivers/media/video/saa7134.h for 'card' parameter.
