tvtime app in FC2 - ATI tuner card

[Bruce J. Merkin]

I am having problems with the tvtime app in FC2.  The channels are 
black-and-white and numbers off-by-one.  My hardware is as follows:

Gigabyte 8INXP with P4 3.06
2 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9700
ATI TV Wonder VE tuner card

This is a known issue with ATI tuner cards; and was easily remedied in 
FC1 by using the instructions on the tvtime author's website

http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/problems.html#tvwonder

as follows:

"The tuner driver defaults to detecting a PAL tuner on many NTSC capture 
cards, a notable example being the ATI TV Wonder cards. This causes all 
of the cable frequencies to be out of alignment, channel numbers are 
off-by-one and slightly detuned. To fix this, the tuner module must be 
told explicitly the tuner type when it is loaded by doing the following:

    modprobe tuner type=2

You may have to first remove the bttv module if it is already loaded. To 
make this change automatic, in your /etc/modules.conf file, add the 
following line:

    options tuner type=2

This will ensure that whenever the tuner module is loaded, it will use 
the correct tuner for this card."

However, with FC2 we have modprobe.conf instead of modules.conf.  I have 
been having trouble with the correct syntax/placement of the options 
line in modprobe.conf.  Here's my current modprobe.conf:

alias eth0 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && 
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd

Any suggestions?  If I have missed out on a previous post addressing 
this issue, please forgive me.  I recently moved and had to switch 
ISP's, and some of my fedora-list Digests may have been lost.

Thanks.
