These are close to correct for ivtv versions before 
0.1.10pre2-ck90-something--except you would need to specify PAL options.

You're using ck100z, which does module option autodetection for the 
PVR-x50's and autoloading of all required modules (whether using 
PVR-x50, M179, or whatever).  Therefore, the only lines you should have 
in your modules.d/ivtv are:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

Take out all your module options, and if you still have problems, post a 
message on the ivtv mailing lists.
