You could add it to /etc/modules

That's a list of modules to load at boot time. As I understand it,
aliasing a module to a char device means that when something tries to
access that char device the kernel knows to load that particular module.

So you'd need to know what char device the saa7134-dvb uses (if any).
Modprobe it and see what it creates? 

I'd just stick it in /etc/modules personally though.
