I've got an old tv tuner card and it works well with tvtime.

I only have one problem. I live in England, and this requires the pal=i options for both the tda9887 and tuner modules (otherwise I get no sound)

I've added a file to /etc/modules.d called bttv which has :

options tda9887 pal=i
options tuner pal=i

in it and these are put into /etc/modprobe.conf by update-modules. However, when I reboot the modules load (not via /etc/modules.autoload.d but by the detection) but without the pal=i switch. If I do :-

rmmod bttv tuner tda9887
modprobe tda9887 pal=i
modprobe tuner pal=i
modprobe bttv

manually, then everything works fine. Can someone help me get this done automatically please ?

I am not sure if this works, or is the "correct" answer, but you could try adding "tda9887 pal=i tuner pal=i" to your lilo/grub kernel boot command.
