While I was at it I did the same for tveeprom-ivtv.ko (copying > it to tveeprom.ko after saving off the original).

If you install the rpm, you need to add a couple of alias lines in modprobe.conf alias tuner tuner-ivtv alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv etc. This tells the kernel to use the tuner-ivtv module instead of tuner, so you don't need to delete the existing modules. You also don't need to move the modules any where else, any modules under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ will be loaded automatically when needed (although you will need to rerun depmod -a so it detects the new modules). > Perhaps the package maintainer or developer should document this in the > README files.

You are probably right that the correct method should be put in the documentation, I know Jarod Wilson's myth guide has this information already.
