hey i dont know if u solved the problem yet ... but try this

if u do an lsmod u should have atleast these

Code:

snd_bt87x               7876  0
tuner                  14476  0
msp3400                19092  0
bttv                  125932  0
video_buf              11780  1 bttv
i2c_algo_bit            7944  1 bttv
v4l2_common             4096  1 bttv
btcx_risc               3336  1 bttv
i2c_core               12932  4 tuner,msp3400,bttv,i2c_algo_bit
videodev                5632  1 bttv


if u dont then u should add them in the kernel
then u should type the following ... my card is the ati tv wonder PCI
Code:
rmmod tuner
modprobe tuner type=2
rmmod bttv
modprobe bttv card=63


run tvtime , if u get a message sayin that it could not open /dev/v4l/video
then u need to change the permissions on the file


if this works out .. then add them to ur /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
try this and tell me what happens
good luck

hotplug scans pci bus and autoloads modules as needed, so no /etc/modules.autoload/kernelx.x.x

emerge -s hotplug
