For Gentoo the file is (create it if it is not there)
  /etc/modules.d/bttv
which contains

options bttv        card=72 tuner=2

Then you run the module update script (modules-update)


also before you do this you ought to try it by hand uninstall the bttv 
module and restart it

--uninstal

rmmod bttv

--install by hand

modprobe bttv card=72 tuner=2

If card 72 doesn't work try card 70 or 37(I think)  (look in your kernel 
source directroy under the bttv stuff that has a card list.)

I had to hack my card's info to get audio working but it may work fine 
for you (I have 2 other pixelview cards that just worked)  If you have a 
question on that let me know.
