This should be discussed on the ivtv list...

No, no, no, no, no. Its absolutely a type 57 tuner, and if you're actually 
using a tuner module with type 57 support in it (either the one from ivtv or 
a very recent v4l snapshot), that's definitely the one to use.

I know this because I'm the one who submitted the patch to both ivtv and v4l 
to support this tuner, along with the tveeprom patches for auto-detection, 
and I have a PVR-500 with that tuner, which works perfectly.

The problem lies elsewhere, he's got a tuner module that supports type 57 
there. The OP needs to show his modprobe.conf, but my first guess would be he 
needs an extra module parameter:

options cx25840 no_black_magic=1

I did notice that the OP has the D492 revision of the card, which folks seem 
to be having more troubles with. Please take this over to the ivtv list 
though.
