Summary: tvtime 0.9.12-5 in FC2 - ATI tuner card

Initial Comment:
I am having problems with the tvtime app in Fedora Core
2.  The channels are black-and-white and numbers
off-by-one.  My hardware is as follows:

Gigabyte 8INXP with P4 3.06
1 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9700
ATI TV Wonder VE tuner card

While using FC1, this was easily remedied by using the
instructions on the tvtime website

http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/problems.html#tvwonder

as follows:

"The tuner driver defaults to detecting a PAL tuner on
many NTSC capture cards, a notable example being the
ATI TV Wonder cards. This causes all of the cable
frequencies to be out of alignment, channel numbers are
off-by-one and slightly detuned. To fix this, the tuner
module must be told explicitly the tuner type when it
is loaded by doing the following:

    modprobe tuner type=2

You may have to first remove the bttv module if it is
already loaded. To make this change automatic, in your
/etc/modules.conf file, add the following line:

    options tuner type=2

This will ensure that whenever the tuner module is
loaded, it will use the correct tuner for this card."

However, with FC2 we have modprobe.conf instead of
modules.conf.  I have been having trouble with the
correct syntax/placement of the options line in
modprobe.conf.  Here's my current modprobe.conf:

alias eth0 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null
2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store
>/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r
--ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd

Any suggestions? 

Thanks.
