What does this mean for getting it working?

I have tried doing a 

# modprobe cx88xx tuner=37      # have also tried 85 here
# modprobe cx8800 

but this doesn't affect the dmesg output I get, which remains 

cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.4 loaded

cx88[0]/0: cx88: tvaudio thread started

in both cases - it's not picking up the tuner type.

I assumed that removing all these modules would allow me to reset (and
it used to).  Do I need to reboot?  (I'm not by the computer at the
moment so I can't do that reliably)

Ok - but this might come eventually?

Great - have tried again with latest cvs and above problems still stand.
