This piece of advice in the wiki is (now) backwards:

"There is work at the moment to merge these conflicting versions, but in 
the meantime the kernel version has to go:"

At least with the .4.1 driver, I (and others reporting here) have only 
been able to get a PVR and a DVb card to work together by making the PVR 
cards use the *kernel* module tveeprom.
If you moved/rename kernel modules, try changing them back and comment 
out the line in your modprobe.conf which has 'alias tveeprom 
tveeprom-ivtv' (Leave the rest of the alias' lines alone.

This change makes sense: the kernel module is there specifically for dvb 
cards like yours... No wonder you have a problem!

But good luck with ivtv .5... I could not get it to work properly nor 
could someone else with the same hardware as I have: PVR 500 + pcHD3000 
card.
Presently runing (well... attempting to run... due to other problems.. ) 
ivtv version .4.1

Also, you should ensure that the cx88_dvb driver is listed FIRST in 
modules.pcimap, and it helps if you enter it as the FIRST card in 
mythtv-setup. (If it is in modules.pcimap after the cx8800 modules, then 
those get loaded first and modprobe.conf seems to get confused trying to 
run both NTSC and ATSC (analog/and digital ) modes. If cx88-dvb is 
listed first then the kernel loads it (it IS a kernel module and the 
hardware is there!) and no lines are needed in modprobe.conf. This is my 
experience with Fedora 4 2.6.14-1.1644.

The card should show up at /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 and NOT at 
/dev/video0. The PVR cards show up at /dev/video1 or 2 etc.
