I have a hunch: for this you need the lm_sensors package. If you have the
i2cdetect utility then it's already installed, otherwise you need to download
it.
Run i2cdetect -l. You see a list of i2c busses, two of them are from ivtv.
Next run ivtvdetect -a <i2c-bus> where <i2c-bus> is the bus number of the ivtv
i2c busses. Say 'Y' when asked to continue. The output looks like this:
wyst: ~/work/src/ivtv/driver $ i2cdetect -a 4
WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
I will probe file /dev/i2c-4.
I will probe address range 0x00-0x7f.
Continue? [Y/n] Y

Please do this for both i2c busses and mail me the output.
I might have a separate radio tuner (just like the PAL PVR500), but one that
is not yet detected correctly. It could be that it assigns that radio tuner
as the tv tuner accidentally. With this information I should be able to
determine if that is the case.
