Thank all for your help.

What I've found out is that 

1. ivtv related packages doesn't work for me when I tried.  I'm
running 2.6.10-1.770 stock kernel from FC3 and the machine hangs when
I issue modprobe ivtv.
2. so I compiled my own ivtv modules.
3. it seems when I installed the latest ivtv (0.3.4f), it removed the
modules tuner msp3400 and tveeprom from the kernel and installed it's
own.  so by doing "alias tuner tuner-ivtv" there was no effect.
4. unfortunately I have another set of above mentioned modules from my
pcHDTV-3000 driver.
5. I had to move the modules from pcHDTV-3000 driver to *.ko.bak and
do a "depmod -ae"

In summary, now my PVR-500 works perfectly, with my pcHDTV-3000.
