You should indeed be using "IVTV MPEG-2".  "V4L" is for raw video
capture, which is unsupported on the 1950.

Did you put both the IVTV device and the ATSC device in the same
MythTV "Input Group"?  That is needed to prevent MythTV from
attempting to use both at the same time (which would cause problems in
the driver).
