Andrew,
   Well, you solved my problem! I used lsof without options, piped the 
output to a file called list and did 'grep ivtv list'. This gave me the 
following:

ivtv_vbi/ 5470     root  cwd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv_vbi/ 5470     root  rtd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv_vbi/ 5470     root  txt   unknown                                 
/proc/5470/exe
ivtv_fw/0 5471     root  cwd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv_fw/0 5471     root  rtd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv_fw/0 5471     root  txt   unknown                                 
/proc/5471/exe
ivtv-enc  5786     root  cwd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-enc  5786     root  rtd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-enc  5786     root  txt   unknown                                 
/proc/5786/exe
ivtv-enc- 5787     root  cwd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-enc- 5787     root  rtd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-enc- 5787     root  txt   unknown                                 
/proc/5787/exe
ivtv-dec  5812     root  cwd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-dec  5812     root  rtd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-dec  5812     root  txt   unknown                                 
/proc/5812/exe
ivtv-dec- 5813     root  cwd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-dec- 5813     root  rtd       DIR        8,1      4096          2 /
ivtv-dec- 5813     root  txt   unknown                                 
/proc/5813/exe

after 'killall ivtv-enc' and 'killall ivtv-dec' I can unload ivtv with 
'modprobe -r ivtv'. I have updated my scripts and now when I go into 
hibernate, I can remove ivtv with modprobe. I assume this will solve the 
stability issues in my system, if it doesn't I'll post again.
Thanks for all your help!
