Not very closely then. Your modules.conf has all sorts of extra junk in it
that I explicitly say not to include. Everything should be auto-detected,
especially since it looks like you have an older card (judging from the type
2 Philips tuner).

Probably because of all the extra junk you're specifying.

My doc also says this info should be sent to the ivtv mailing list, not the
Myth mailing list...

Your modprobe.conf file should only contain:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
Remove all those other lines and try again.
