Hmm.  Looks like the tuner module hasn't found the tuner chip.
Not surprising you can't tune other stations (neither radio nor TV).

Does that mean I've selected the wrong tuner type?

No.  It means the bus scan hasn't found a chip, i.e. the tuner chip
doesn't answer i2c reads for some reason.  You can load the i2c-algo-bit
module with bit_scan=1, that should print a i2c bus scan to the syslog
at if you insmod bttv.

[...]
tuner: probing bt848 #0 i2c adapter [id=0x10005]
tuner: chip found @ 0xc0

Huh?  This time the tuner is present?


It's been mentioned here before; if you reboot (or boot Windows and
then boot to Linux), bttv usually doesn't find the tuner. It only works if you boot to Linux after a power-off. It's a tad annoying.
Windows doesn't have a problem with reboots, so I don't think it's
a problem with the mt2032 chip as such.,

Try attached patch and report if the warmboot problem is fixed or not ?

 Probably Windows switches off MT2032 (which gets hot) and Linux only
 enables it when it starts tuning.
 But then it's too late!
