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. I repeat: in general you
do not need the parameters below. Really.
For discussion of the differences between NTSC/PAL/SECAM, as well as a list of
the sub-types of PAL, see:

Where "uses I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD" is mentioned, the module supports the five
standard options from include/i2c.h:
probe - List of adapter,address pairs to scan additionally
probe_range - List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples to scan
additionally
ignore - List of adapter,address pairs not to scan
ignore_range - List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples not to scan
force - List of adapter,address pairs to boldly assume to be present
ivtv
====
This is the iTVC15 driver
parameter: tuner
Tuner type selection
Default value is autodetected from the eeprom
The value should be from driver/tuner.h; check that file for the latest list
parameter: radio
Enable or disable the radio.
Use only if autodetection fails. 0 = disable, 1 = enable
Various *_buffers options (units are MB), can be overridden to allocate
more/less memory to the driver
option default max

parameter: cardtype
Specify card type. Only use this option if your card is not detected properly

Default: Autodetect
parameter: debug
Debug level (bitmask). Default: errors only
IVTV_DEBUG_ERR (1 << 0)
IVTV_DEBUG_INFO (1 << 1)
IVTV_DEBUG_API (1 << 2)
IVTV_DEBUG_DMA (1 << 3)
IVTV_DEBUG_IOCTL (1 << 4)
IVTV_DEBUG_I2C (1 << 5)
IVTV_DEBUG_IRQ (1 << 6)
IVTV_DEBUG_DEC (1 << 7)
e.g. "modprobe ivtv ivtv_debug=255" gives full debugging
"modprobe ivtv ivtv_debug=3" gives errors and info
parameter: pal
Set PAL standard: B, G, H, D, K, I, M, N, Nc
Default: Autodetect
parameter: ntsc
Set NTSC standard: M, J
Default: Autodetect
parameter: secam
Set SECAM standard: B, G, H, D, K, L, LC
Default: Autodetect
parameter: ivtv_first_minor
Set minor assigned to first card. Don't worry about this unless you have
multiple cards and are really picky about the /dev/video* numbering.
ivtv-fb
=======
This module allows your ivtv device (PVR350) to act as a framebuffer (e.g. for X
or as a console). You can then use the standard Xorg/XFree86 fbdev but *much*
better performance is obtained by using the ivtvfbdev from FIXME.
parameter: ivtv_fb_card_id
ID number of ivtv card to use as framebuffer device (0-7)
