Hey Brad,
I have the same exact card as you do with the same. I am on Fedora Core
4 and am using the RPMs for ivtv version 0.4.2 from ATRPMS. I was
getting something similar to what you were getting when I first tried to
set things up. What worked for me was the following:
My modprobe.conf looked like this:
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81 ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
alias tuner tuner-ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
I would get a very similar modprobe to what you got with the 2 "tuner
1-0061: tuner type not set" lines. I was looking at another post of
someone's modprobe and saw that their modprobe looked like this:
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81 ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
alias tuner tuner-ivtv
#options ivtv ivtv_std=1 tuner=57,57
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
I swapped the location of the tveeprom lines around and that's what got
me working. Before that I read a lot on the older tuner.ko files around
your machine. I made sure I deleted or renamed all of the older ones and
made the ones that ivtv 0.4.2 installed named tuner-ivtv.ko as was
recommended in other faq's that I found.
If you are unsure what set of modules you are using, they should match
what your uname -r is. If you are curious, you can get a list of all the
.ko files in the driver subdirectory and find the same files in your
modules directory and move them to another directory. Then install the
.ko files from the driver subdirectory to the ivtv folder and rename
them with a -ivtv extension. Then change your modprobe to match mine.
That way you can replace the files that you moved if necessary.
Also make sure you have the correct firmware and make sure they are in
the correct locations: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware.
Fedora placed my firmware files in /lib/firmware.
Hopefully you have read through the howto:

Sorry if this is at all cryptic or unclear. I had to play with things a
little to get it working and I am still having a problem tuning in one
channel.
What Linux version are you using?

Subject: [ivtv-users] Getting a Hauppauge PVR-500 to work
Well, the mysterious channel stickiness disappeared when I booted. Now
I'm getting the same results I've always gotten.
I noticed that when I "make install" the new driver that it's actually
putting everything in /lib/modules/2.6.15-1-486-1-486/ivtv instead of
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-486/ivtv. I copied everything from the former into
the latter, but that didn't seem to help.
Here's my dmesg:
<snip>
tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set
tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set
ivtv0: Initialized WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1), card #0
<snip>
tuner 2-0061: tuner type not set
tuner 2-0061: tuner type not set
ivtv1: Initialized WinTV PVR 500 (unit #2), card #1
