Not much, is it?

How about:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tda9887; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /root/bin/pvr_setup.sh
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
options tda9887 debug=3
options msp3400 once=1 debug=1 standard=0x03
options ivtv tda9887=0 ivtv_std=2

Make sure to adjust ivtv_std= to mach your local TV standard.

And just in case you want to know. In /root/bin/pvr_setup.sh I have:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0xff
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -p 4
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -f width=720,height=576
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -c dnr_mode=0
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -c dnr_temporal=0
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -c dnr_spatial=0
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa -d /dev/video16
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -j reg=0x2d,val=0x38 -d /dev/video16

But be aware that these are PAL settings and may not apply to you.
