That was also my impression from browsing the relevant sources, but I
was not 100% sure about that.
I suggest this "obviously correct" patch to the documentation to prevent
users trapped here.
MIND to use sed 's,^- -,-,' if you don't run this mail through PGP/GPG.

Hm. While it's not yet 2.2.16pre time, bttv_tuner= is inconsistent with
module names, since it's "modprobe tuner type=anything", so tuner= seems
more appropriate.
