You need to use the kernel tveeprom module and _not_ the ivtv tveeprom 
module! 

This is at least true for the current 2.6.12 kernel.
Simply make sure that modprobe uses the "original" module from
/lib/modules/current/kernel/drivers/media/video/tveeprom.ko and
not /lib/modules/current/ivtv/tveeprom.ko !
Just rename the "unwanted" module, e.g.
mv /lib/modules/current/ivtv/tveeprom.ko 
/lib/modules/current/ivtv/tveeprom.ko.unused
and run depmod afterwards.

Use 'modprobe -v <module>' to see which module is loaded.

For earlier kernels (<= 2.6.11), I always applied the patches from
http://dl.bytesex.org/patches although I'm not completely sure if
that was required. But then, I never had any problems with the bytesex
patches. 
Patching wasn't necessary for 2.6.12 anymore, though.

Btw, I'm also _not_ using ivtv's tuner module either. 

That way, I can run a Pinnacle PCTV Pro (uses bttv) and a PVR 350 (ivtv)
concurrently. Just running latest kernel 2.6.12.2 now.

If you have additional questions, please be sure to add my private address
to the cc: header because I'm not actively reading the ivtv-users mailing-
list.

Hope that helps!

Regards, Walter
