Hi Cal

I have a similar setup - sounds like you're in the US (NTSC).

My relevant entries in /etc/modules.conf:

------------8< snip -------------------------------------
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-16 ivtv-fb
alias char-major-89 i2c-core
options tuner type=21
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 debug=1 standard=0x20
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0x3000
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video16 -u 0x3000
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video32 -u 0x3000
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video224 -u 0x3000
------------8< snip -------------------------------------

...and here's how I load the modules in my init script for
mythbackend (it's sort of a 'belt and suspenders' approach):

------------8< snip -------------------------------------
insmod i2c-core
insmod i2c-algo-bit
insmod msp3400 once=1 simple=1 debug=1 standard=0x20
insmod saa7115
insmod saa7127 enable_output=1
insmod tuner type=21
insmod tveeprom
insmod ivtv ivtv_debug=1
sleep 2

#
#  -u 0x3000 = NTSC
#  -f width=720,height=480 = NTSC
#  -p 4 = input #4 = tuner
#  -v = MSP34xx input/output mapping
#
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -u 0x3000
/usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -f width=720,height=480

#
#  have to start on channel 3 for cable input
#
/usr/local/bin/ptune.pl 3

insmod ivtv-fb
