OK, problem solved! I did not need the ivtvfbctl settings suggested by
Stanley. Once I was able to restore my MythTV database and start the
frontend, I was a happy man. I am now able to playback video, but for
some reason new recordings are playing a little too fast. Everyone has
"helium voices" but the audio is in sync with the video. Any ideas?
Maybe something about the recording settings I need to check? Old
recordings seem to be fine.

Here is my final modprobe.conf config for ivtv:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
options ivtv tuner=-1,50
options ivtv-fb osd_compat=1
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe saa7127; /sbin/modprobe cx25840;
/sbin/modprobe wm8775; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv;
/sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
