These are the modules included in the ivtv suite.

The ivtv module is the main one and it will automatically detect your
environment and load additional modules as needed.

Usually:
 modprobe ivtv
will work fine.

In general you don't need the parameters below :)

ivtv

This is the iTVC15 driver

Specify card type. Only use this option if your card is not detected properly
     1 = WinTV PVR 250rev1
     2 = WinTV PVR 250rev2
     3 = WinTV PVR 250rev3, iTVC15 based
     4 = WinTV PVR 250rev4
     5 = WinTV PVR 350rev1
     6 = WinTV PVR 350rev2
     7 = YUAN MPG600/Kuroutoshikou iTVC16-STVLP
