xawtv and tvtime just read /dev/video0 , they don't configure or detect your card, you will need to configure it
Try this before opening tvtime or xawtv
modprobe saa7134 i2c_scan=1

I tried as described in the site and by you.
But while recompling the kernel i have some hundreds of errors like
drivers/atm/ambassador.c:2447: warning: `MODULE_PARM_' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:552)
while doing modprobe it gives me Module saa7134 not found

I supposed you were using a distro with some modules preinstalled, as you don't say which distro are you using
