yes you're correct. i moved module options to /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv,
which looks like the following now:
---
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0 ivtv_debug=1 tuner=28
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options tuner pal=1
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; \
        /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe saa7127; \
        /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; \
        /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa;
---

i've tried several ivtv versions, and currently i'm running the recently
released 0.3.2p. i tried also to use tuner=5 instead of 28, what didn't
change anything.

mythepg shows me all available channels in germany, and i see snow on
all channels, but i didn't manage to see any tv stream yet.

which module or ivtvctl options do i need to make my WinTV PVR-350
(germany, PAL) work on my system.
