My <Chuckle> was actually more of a "I've been there and asked the same
question", no offense intended, I asked the same question of myself when I
did a kernel upgrade, and it's ironic to see others go thru the same thing.
I was happy to share the results of my quest, and meant no offense. Welcome
to one of the challenges of email - its hard to convey meanings without the
benefit of the other queues humans are used to.

Well I interpreted the 'chuckle' as the bit of the latter.. Someone who
knew something chuckling that someone else did not know what that arcane
'Or3874-DD-wigdet' reference actually referred to.
What this actually points out is that the ivtv guys have forgotten the
reason for that output: to provide useful information, -not- just for
them, but for -everyone- who uses the software.
The output should say something like:
Found pcHDTV 3000
PcHDTV 3000 using tuner chipset: Or3875-DD-widget revision 1.0.5.6
PcHDTV 3000 using encoder chipset: TD1234 revision 2.4.6.8
Then at least, those who do not know what a TD1234 is would gain as much
useful information out of it as the person who knows.
It might even make debugging errors a little easier.
Just my 2 cents. Buy some cranberry sauce with it!
