Even if there was a way to do it, it won't help you because FC6 comes 
with kernel 2.6.18 which requires ivtv 0.8.x.

You either need to compile an older kernel yourself (and hope that it 
works) or downgrade the whole machine to FC5. You can also try 
installing an FC5 kernel on FC6 (probably will have to use rpm --nodeps) 
but you may be in for a lot of headache (and of course it's not supported).
