I added this. Didn't seem to change anything.

How can you tell if it works or not. In the dmesg tveeprom is shown the 
same - in the ivtv section, and neither time did it mentiion the 
"tveeprom-ivtv" module.
in lsmod, tveeprom module is used by cx88xx.

I think that my main problem is that the cx8800 gets loaded and stops 
cx88-dvb from loading. But, I don't know how to get cx8800 to not load.
I assume that Mercury Morris has the same problem as he comments out all 
references to ivtv and cv88 in modprobe and uses rc.local to load the 
video drivers -- with waits in between the loads. I may have to resort 
to that. Doesn't seem right, though.
