You're setting the tuner to the wrong type.

No! The tuner type is auto-detected, so you don't have to set it manually.

You can remove the 'tuner=38' bit from that line. In fact, you
shouldn't need the cardtype or ivtv_std part either, unless it's not
automatically detected. You should probably try 'modprobe ivtv'
without any options, and only add the ones that you need.

This indicates that the tuner type is actually 4 (as automatically
detected by the tveeprom module), not 38.

Hope that helps,

Ross.
