Here's the relevant stuff from my modprobe.conf:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
alias tuner tuner-ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias tda9887 tda9887-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
alias char-major-89-* i2c-dev
options ivtv tuner=2 ivtv_first_minor=1
install ivtv { /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe 
saa7115; /sbin/modprobe tuner; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time 
--ignore-install ivtv
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove ivtv && 
{ /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400; /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115; /sbin/modprobe 
-r tuner; /bin/true; }
