Craig,

Here is what I had to do to get it working

service mythbackend stop

modprobe -r ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner video

yum remove `rpm -qa | grep ivtv | grep -v 'ivtv-firmware'`

yum install video4linux video4linux-devel video4linux-kmdl (This stated 
that a version did not exist for my kernel)

yum upgrade kernel

yum install video4linux video4linux-devel video4linux-kmdl

reboot to load new kernel

If you didn't have to update your kernel the  modprobe ivtv command 
should get you working.
