I don't know exactly what is the thing with tda9887. When I insert the
ivtv module without the correct tda9887 option, I just get static. I
tried the following four (tda9887=-2 is not in the modinfo documentation)
parameters:

ivtv tda9887=-2 autoload=0 -> noise   (tda9887=autodetect)
ivtv tda9887=-1 autoload=0 -> noise   (tda9887=disable)
ivtv tda9887=0  autoload=0 -> picture (tda9887=normal)
ivtv tda9887=1  autoload=0 -> noise   (tda9887=no qss)

When you leave out the tda9887 option, the autodetect is the default, so I
my case autodetection fails. I also would like to know why, so I hope you
can give me a hint on where to look.

Does it have something to do with not-autoloading the modules?
Does it have something to do with the ivtv-detect output (tda9887 is not
there either)

There is also some tuner specific code in ivtv-driver which relates to
both tda9887 and my tuner TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1216ME_MK3 (ivtv-driver:1359),
perhaps I have some exceptional model where it doesn't work...?

I'm already glad that it works now, but would also like to see the default
options (no options) working.
