Thanks for the information. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. I can't actually find a file name modprobe.conf. The file I had been using was /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv

Yeah, that should work.
To test, I am using "perl /usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl &" for a tuner and "cat /dev/video | mplayer –" to play the video.

Are you putting "&" in the tune command? I assume you mean "7", correct? Are connecting connecting a cable line to the card, or an antenna? You may also want to try some channels in other tuner ranges (like UHF) to if there's somewhere you are getting proper tuning. Leave mplayer running (you can just do mplayer /dev/video, no cat is needed), and open another terminal and hit
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 5
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 18
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 35
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 55
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 65
/usr/local/bin/ptune-ui.pl 75
(Assuming you would normally get those channels) And see if you get anything

Is there a particular file that I should be using that I'm not? Should any of the ivtv modules be listed in /etc/modules, or aren't they called automatically?

The only thing I have in my /etc/modules (ivtv related) is just ivtv. Everything else should load automatically, assuming you have up-to-date `depmod-a`
