I don't recall what I was getting in the logs, but I was getting the same effect as you (with kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 and ivtv 3.4a from atrpms). Googling around I found a suggestion to set up my modprobe.conf as follows: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-1 ivtv alias char-major-81-2 ivtv alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv options ivtv ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0 options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 alias tuner tuner-ivtv NB this is for a Dutch PAL card. This produced a picture and sound on both tuners. Unfortunately the picture stuttered and had a lot of fringing, and I won't have time to look at this again until the weekend, so I'm not sure if I had a bad version of ivtv or if I need to do some more tweaking.
