First, and most important, what does dmesg about ivtv show when you boot? Second, when you record 10 seconds of data to test.mpg what is the file size? Zero/small means ivtv simply isn't working. Large means it is but the tuner or something else is not working correctly. Note that there are a number of us that are unable to reboot PVR cards. We must cold boot them to have them operate correctly. Info will show up in dmesg if you are one of this unfortunate select group. lspci -x after a warm and cold boot would show a difference.
