I think the reason it doesn't work is that the "modprobe bttv" creates 
both the bttv0 & bttv1 devices, hence only one of your two "install 
bttvX" lines ever gets executed. You could try having just a single line 
which does everything:

install bttv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bttv && /sbin/modprobe
dvb-bt8xx && /sbin/modprobe dst && /sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb && 
/sbin/modprobe cx8800

FWIW, I removed all my modprobe lines for the frontends of my budget 
cards. There was a change made a while ago to the budget code which 
forced it to load every supported frontend when the budget module is 
loaded. Perhaps this change should be propagated to other card drivers?

If all else fails, just add the modprobe commands to the /etc/rc.local 
file. These will be executed every reboot.
