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.
