With the 1.10 release, the only required lines in the modules.conf (I
am not familiar with FC2, but at least in RH and FC1 it was
modules.conf, not modprobe.conf, anyway, I assume you have it right)
are the following:

alias char-major-81   videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv


If some verbose debugging is required, you can add temporarily (don't
forget to remove this option if you don't want to fill your /var) the
following option:

options ivtv ivtv_debug=3

Nothing else is required and everything will be auto-detected.

I have not been able to test the PVR350 out to the tv. If anyone could please help me get this resolved, you'd make my future wife happy :)  Thanks!

Obviously the ivtv-fb is missing...
I suggest you activate debugging and look at the /var/log/messages
file for the reason why it is not loaded.
