Yes it works!   Embarrassed I made an entry error, as I've done it before correctly in previous fedora Core 1 and 2.   Big oops !  Now I get the dmesg:
"tuner: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones
tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus bt878 #0 [sw]
tuner: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)) by bt878 #0[sw]
"
Thank you
