Keith, John, thanks for the prompt response.

I know, I can vaguely hear the tv-channel radio sound on /dev/video24 when
input=0 and I hear nothing when I select a different input (s-video on
input 3 works also fine)

It only installs ivtv.ko in /lib/modules/. I removed the kernel modules and 
replaced them
with the ivtv-modules by changing the Makefile/Kbuild but the effect is
the same. Still snow/static on the tuner input.

Keith, you named 4 modules for the PVR-150 card. I assume that cx25840 and
wm8775 also belong there? Does anybody know why autoloading fails? In had
to resolve this by adding the dependencies in /etc/modprobe.d (Debian
stable)

Unfortunately I deleted the modules and kernel where it used to work
flawlessly, so I'm stuck debugging it from scratch. I also noticed only
tveeprom in the capabalities from ivdetect, while I've seen posts with
tda9887, wm8775 and the rest from users with the same card. Why is that?

$ ivtv-detect
driver:   ivtv-0.4.1 (tagged release)
card:     WinTV PVR 150, bus info 0000:00:10.0, ivtv card #0
hardware: tveeprom
         /dev/video0: MPG encoding (links: /dev/video)
         /dev/radio0: Radio        (links: /dev/radio)
           /dev/vbi0: VBI encoding (links: /dev/vbi)
        /dev/video24: PCM encoding
        /dev/video32: YUV encoding

another thing I noticed is the strange output of ivtvctl, which looks like
I need the saa7115 module. Although even when I insert this one, it looks
like it's not used by anyone, and doesn't affect the ivtvctl output. Does
the pvr-150 come with such an IC or is this for the 350/250 models?

$ ivtvctl -I
check SAA7115 input signal
ioctl: Input detect failed (cannot read SAA regs)
