No, /etc/profile.d is where you would put things to modify your login
shell. You want /etc/init.d/rc.local, or better yet I would put those
in the mythbackend startup script in the start section.

So you don't have /dev/dtv or /dev/dtv0, but you do have /dev/video32
and you need to create the symbolic link and that works for you? I
would imagine, if anything, that /dev/dtv exists and you are trying to
use /dev/video32 which doesn't exist. What distro and hdtv drivers are
you using?
