[gentoo-user] Do I Need bttv?

[Drew Tomlinson]

I'm trying to build a MythTV box on Gentoo based upon snippets of 
various guides I've found on the web.  My TV card is Hauppauge's 
PVR-250. From what I've gathered, ivtv is the appropriate software to 
use with this card.  However, bttv is loaded on startup in addition to 
ivtv.  So my questions are:

1.  Do I need bttv?
2.  If I don't need bttv, how can I prevent bttv from loading on 
startup?  I never asked for to start but I assume it gets loaded because 
I used genkernel to build my kernel.  I suspect it has something to do 
with either hotplug or coldplug?  I've checked 
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and rc-update and don't see bttv listed.

Thanks for your help!
