I added the following to my /etc/init.d/mythbackend right after the echo 
-n $"Starting $prog: " line:

  # use RTC timing instead of usleep()
  chmod 666 /dev/rtc
  echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq

  # if bttv isn't already loaded, load it
  bttv=`lsmod | grep '^bttv' | cut -d' ' -f1`
  if [ "X$bttv" != "Xbttv" ]; then
    modprobe bttv
  fi

  # if ivtv isn't already loaded, load it
  ivtv=`lsmod | grep '^ivtv' | cut -d' ' -f1`
  if [ "X$ivtv" != "Xivtv" ]; then
    modprobe ivtv
  fi

If you don't have any bttv cards (e.g. pcHDTV HD-2000) you can remove 
the bttv section.
