Don't you mean 0x68? README.bt8xx says you should use card=0x68 and cx24110 
frontend for pinnacle pctv cards. But then again it also says that if you 
select wrong your system will lock, hard (I've tried this myself and 
indeed it does), so you probably have it right. Worth a try though,
just sync;sync;sync before you do :)

You mean i2c_hw=1. Though modinfo tells me there is no such option anyway. 
Probably some old 2.4 feature someone forgot to remove. The docs say you 
should also have card=0x71 on that line as it will "override the PCI type 
detection for dvb-bt8xx, which is necessary for TwinHan cards". So if I 
understand correctly that means that autodetection is bad with the dst 
frontend.
