Try the following (for both identical cards, substituting xx for the
tuner values again) to replace the bttv line you have at the moment.
Not sure if it will work though. I'd post the output of your lsmod and
lspci -v. Because it's a Hauppauge and 878 based it should all
autodetect.

--------------------------------------------
alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
alias char-major-81-1   bttv
options bttv            card=10,10 radio=0,0
options tuner           type=xx,xx

install bttv { modprobe -k tuner; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time
--ignore-install bttv
--------------------------------------------

If this doesn't work, I'd take it to the video4linux mailing list as
you may get some more tips and tricks there.
