I'm using FC3 (followed Jarod's guide) and had this
problem.  I just created a startup script in
/etc/rc3.d/S85tuners which gets run before
/etc/rc3.d/S86mythbackend.  Here it is

#!/bin/bash
#
# description: Loading the tuners for mythbackend so
it doesn't get \
#              confused.

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions


start() {
        #/usr/local/bin/MAKEDEV-DVB.sh
        /sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb
        /sbin/modprobe ivtv
        /usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video3 -p 6
}
stop() {
        /sbin/modprobe -r cx88-dvb
        /sbin/modprobe -r ivtv
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  stop)
        stop
        ;;
  *)
        echo $"Usage: $prog {start|stop}"
        exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL

Cut and paste and chmod 755
