Richard,
I had a similar but not identical issue. When I did cat /dev/
video1, I got garbage, instead of a 0 length file.
I resolved my problem by changing the drivers around. Apparently
the tuner.ko and tveeprom.ko that came with Fedora was interfering
with the ivtv drivers. What I did was:
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/
mv tuner.ko tuner.ko.bak
mv tveeprom.ko tveeprom.ko.bak
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/drivers/media/video
cp tuner-ivtv.ko tuner.ko
cp tveeprom-ivtv.ko tveeprom.ko
modprobe -r ivtv
depmod -a
modprobe ivtv
Thanks,
Peter Darley
