I don't think this will work for Roger's particular card version. 
Browsing the driver source (see below) I cannot see his card version 
(8940) listed in saa7164-cards.c.

Cheers. I'm slowly getting a grip on hardware, driver and firmware 
versions. Been browsing source at 
http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/tree/HEAD:/drivers/media/video/saa7164 
and it seems mpeg encoder (i.e., analogue TV) support was added in Oct 
2010. Also seems I have saa7164 driver dated Dec 2009 but I'm not 
totally sure.
