I have your exact same setup, same card, same kernel, same distro.

I didn't use apt to install ivtv, but rather I compiled 0.4.3 from source.

Compile it:
sudo -i
wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/archive/0.4.x/ivtv-0.4.3.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ivtv-0.4.3.tar.gz
cd ivtv-0.4.3
make
sudo make install

Install the firmware:
cd utils
wget ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr_150-500/inf/pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip
wget 
ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr_250-350/inf/pvr_1.18.21.22254_inf.zip
unzip pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip 
./ivtvfwextract.pl pvr_1.18.21.22254_inf.zip
cp HcwMakoA.ROM /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx25840.fw
cp HcwFalcn.rom /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
mv /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-dec.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
mv /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
cp ../v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
ln -s /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ivtv-fw-dec.bin 
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw 

Make sure this is in your /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file:
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

Finish up:
depmod
modprobe ivtv
dmesg

Look for errors in the dmesg output (post everything new that comes up back to 
the
mailing list if it still doesn't work.)

Test it:
mplayer /dev/video0

Good luck.
