I'm not familiar with the ftvco script, but obviously it is trying to 
remove the bttv module and is unable to do so because of bt878.  You 
might try manually removing the bt878 module before running the script.

If you still get the error regarding tuner.ko after doing that, you will 
need to check dmesg (as suggested) to get some more information.
