The new 0.2.0 series does not require options in the modules.conf file.

5. Interesting observations:
- tveeprom does not install with the released drivers, but it does with 
ckennedy drivers

Because, like I stated in an earlier email, the new hauppauge tuners ARE 
tuner 47. 
Tuner 39 is close, but does not have full functionality.

See my previous email on this.

It didn't autodetect because your kernel tuner module doesn't know what 
it is. 
You need to apply the tuner.c/ tuner.h patch on Chris' website, and 
recompile / reinstall the module.
then it should autodetect to tuner 47, fully working.
