I have a Win-TV pci tv tuner card here, and I always have to create the 
following file called "options" under /etc/modprobe.d directory.  So...
sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/options and then the option file contains this 
for my card anyways:
options bttv card=19 tuner=27
Thats it. Save and reboot.

You can get more info on your specific card and such here:

Hope that helps.
