[mythtv-users] Myth not tuning correctly at first boot

Can anyone help me with the required commands to manually load the bttv
stuff at boot ?

I have found that I need  tuner type=18 & card type=10, but I don't know how
to set it up properly.

I tried adding these to modules.conf but it didn't help.

Thanks,
Pete
