This looks like a Professional Security system card for use with security cameras. Most time this is packaged with cameras or housed in a DVR Security unit with Cameras.
Purchased separately, a card like this would be used to build and market security systems. Is this intended for an Open Source package?
All should understand the request.

Open a terminal and enter
then post the results here.
The results will tell details of your card so the proper driver can be determined.

[1131:7130] (rev 01)
Found these references with quick search:

And this setup instruction:
| Quote: | 7. Getting Leadtek DTV1000s to work in Linux
This is a bit of a non-fix...the card should work out of the box, so to speak.
However, it didn't for me.
If lspci gives Philips something or other and rev ff rather than e.g. rev 01 as well as MMIO errors, check your BIOS! I kept on getting very little information about my card when doing lspci -vn and it turned out that I had disabled PnP in the BIOS. Once the bios was set to allow the OS to configure PCI devices (Plug-and-play OS), everything worked like a charm.
I put
options saa7134 tuner=48 card=175
in my /etc/modules, but I'm not sure this matters.
Long before discovering that I built and installed the v4l-dvb media build from the git repos,
(Easily done like this:
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build
)
and downloaded the firmware packages by Mike Krufky (http://tw1965.myweb.hinet.net/), and spent time reading forum posts (starting with http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/942269). What I'm saying is that I don't THINK you will need to install or compile anything, but you MAY have to. Make sure your BIOS settings are right first though.
Here's lcpci -vvnn for a working leadtek dtv1000s:

Maybe these gives you some hints.
