This should be discussed on the ivtv list...

No, no, no, no, no. Its absolutely a type 57 tuner, and if you're actually
using a tuner module with type 57 support in it (either the one from ivtv or
a very recent v4l snapshot), that's definitely the one to use.
I know this because I'm the one who submitted the patch to both ivtv and v4l
to support this tuner, along with the tveeprom patches for auto-detection,
and I have a PVR-500 with that tuner, which works perfectly.
The problem lies elsewhere, he's got a tuner module that supports type 57
there. The OP needs to show his modprobe.conf, but my first guess would be he
needs an extra module parameter:
options cx25840 no_black_magic=1
I did notice that the OP has the D492 revision of the card, which folks seem
to be having more troubles with. Please take this over to the ivtv list
though.
