I was able to get this up and running. Here is what i did that resolved the 
issue. I think it was something in the database because i had done all these 
steps (minus deleting the database) several times with no luck. 

Removing IVTV drivers
commenting out all referenct to IVTV in modprobe.conf
Deleting the mythconverg database
cold boot
re-install IVTV
un-comment modprobe.conf
run modprobe ivtv
re-install the mythconverge database
starting mythbackend
run the myth setup again and mythfilldatabase
mythfrontend


Hope this helps someone
Brad
