I just helped a friend do this. For the PVR, you can set in your
modprobe.conf an options like:
options ivtv ivtv_first_minor 1
Which would force the ivtv to start with 1 and 2. I think the
first_minor is enough because if the HD3000 loads first, it takes 0 and
ivtv starts at 1. If ivtv loads first, it starts at 1 and 2 and then
the HD3000 will load and grab 0
