See the source code. BTW, isn't your tuner automatically detected?

I have a Pinnacle PC/TV Pro with a different chipset, but FWIW, 
my /etc/modprobe.d/tv (OSL-10.1) looks like this:

---8<---
alias char-major-81 videodev
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
# YaST configured TV card
# zsAr.FURnweI9FA4:Pinnacle PCTV
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 off
alias char-major-81-2 off
alias char-major-81-3 off
---8<---

You might want to turn debugging on for the modules that are involved 
(see output of lsmod). Usually specifying "debug=1" should suffice. 
Turn it off if you're done, because /var/log/messages will bloat. 
(Yes, debugging messages will appear in /var/log/messages and on 
tty10)

You might find some hints in the source of the involved modules (you 
need to install the kernel-source-*.i586.rpm).

Maybe 10.2 (due to come out in a few days!) has better detection for 
your card.

Cheers,

Leen
