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.
Chris
