Doesn't ring a bell for me.

First thing to do is to get the latest v4l-dvb sources:

http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2

Run 'make' and 'make install'.

You may need to install a kernel-devel or kernel-headers package to be
able to compile it all. I'm no FC7 guru, so if you run into problems I
hope other people can help you out.

Anyway, you need to get this up and running so that I know exactly which
ivtv and v4l version you are using. Once it's installed test again and if
you still have problems let me know.

It sounds more like a cx2584x problem to me, I don't think it is ivtv itself.
