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.

if [ ! -e /dev/dtv ] ; then ln -s /dev/video32 /dev/dtv ; fi
if [ ! -e /dev/dtv0 ] ; then ln -s /dev/video32 /dev/dtv0 ; fi

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?
