According to your init messages, you're using the right tuner type, and 
your non-working channels aren't right for using the wrong frequency 
list (i.e. using standard instead of HRC or IRC).  However, the symptoms 
do sound correct for a bad tuner definition.  Who's tuner module are you 
using, the one distributed with your kernel or the one that came with 
ivtv?  The one in ivtv 0.4.0 has the correct definition, but then again 
so should the one in 2.6.13.2...

Sorry I can't be of more help...
