Right. I've managed to do that now - ivtv-fb loads & unloads just fine. 
Thanks!

#!/bin/sh
# Select TV Connector
/downloads/ivtv/utils/test_ioctl -p 4
/downloads/ivtv/utils/test_ioctl -u 0xff
/downloads/ivtv/utils/test_ioctl -f width=720,height=576

I load ivtv like this:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options tuner type=5 pal=1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options ivtv ivtv_pal=1
options saa7127 pal=1 enable_output=1 output_select=0
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c

What else should I check for PAL settings?

Bye for now,
Ward.
