According to this list, you do not need any options after the 'alias'
line. And 'black_magic' has been unnecessary for some time.

The 'alias char-major-81-1 ivtv'  should probably be immediately after the
'81-0' line further up, so that ivtv knows that you have 2 tuners to be
handled by the module.

Your dmesg output may help you.

If you are not already using it, upgrading to the 4 series driver may
solve these problems.
