I think this guess is wrong! See below.

If you have removed the tuner.ko that was installed by the kernel bevor you 
installed the ivtv driver,
then you see here, that tveeprom detected your tuner as a LG S001D wich is 
tuner type 58!
Because it is reported by the tuner as type 4 and the fmt of the tuner is set 
to PAL(D/K) I'm nearly 100%
sure, that you have the original tuner.ko from the kernel somewhere under 
/lib/modules installed.
So this tuner.ko is loaded and not the one from IVTV.!

I would do the following:
1) search for all the tuner.ko and remove them
2) reinstall the ivtv driver
3) remove the tuner=38 from the modprobe ivtv line
4) make depmod -a
5) shutdown -h now
6) wait for 30 seconds (clear memory of PVR card)
7) restart and look at the dmesg for the tuner type

hope this helps you

Regards Marcel
