Changing the tuner type for an ATI TV Wonder VE

[Shaun Carter]

I'm trying to get my bttv based ATI TV Wonder VE to be recognized as 
type=2 or type=17, but keep getting dmesg reporting it as type=19.  
Here's What I have so far in my aliases file :

alias char-major-81     bttv
options bttv card=1 autoload=0 radio=0
options tuner type=2

with actions set to :

post-install bttv insmod tuner
post-remove bttv rmmod tuner


I have also tried moving the 'options tuner type=2' into actions like this

post-install bttv insmod tuner
options tuner type=2
post-remove bttv rmmod tuner

But dmesg keeps reporting this :

bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0a.0, irq: 17, latency: 32, mmio: 
0xdfdfe000
bttv0: detected: ATI TV Wonder/VE [card=64], PCI subsystem ID is 1002:0003
bttv0: using: ATI TV-Wonder VE [card=64,autodetected]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffffff [init]
tuner: chip found at addr 0xc0 i2c-bus bt878 #0 [sw]
bttv0: using tuner=19
tuner: type set to 19 (Temic PAL* auto (4006 FN5)) by bt878 #0 [sw]

If I rmmod bttv and do

modprobe tuner type=2
modprobe bttv

things work perfectly (well sort of), see the dmesg output from that:

bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0a.0, irq: 17, latency: 32, mmio: 
0xdfdfe000
bttv0: detected: ATI TV Wonder/VE [card=64], PCI subsystem ID is 1002:0003
bttv0: using: ATI TV-Wonder VE [card=64,autodetected]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffffff [init]
tuner: chip found at addr 0xc0 i2c-bus bt878 #0 [sw]
tuner: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)) by 
insmod option
tuner: The type=<n> insmod option will go away soon.
tuner: Please use the tuner=<n> option provided by
tuner: tv aard core driver (bttv, saa7134, ...) instead.
bttv0: using tuner=19
tuner: type already set to 2, ignoring request for 19

So it seems that it's still trying to set to 19, but I've already set it 
to 2.  So this works, what do I have to do to get it to default to 2 
instead of 19?
