Sure looks like IVTV is happy, it recognized the tuner and set it
correctly.
Have you double-checked the basics:
Connected the very same coax that's going to your PVR to a TV set and
ensured that there is actually RF signal on it?
Created a video source and associated it with the tuner input of the
PVR card? Be sure you name the video source something, Mythtv-setup
will let you have no name but this can cause trouble.
When you type a channel # does its how up on the screen? Do you get
the capture card identifier on-screen when you go to live-TV?
Try using ivtvctl/ivtv-tune to set the card up before you cat the
card's output to a file, run them with -help to get the command
structure.
If you can't get a manual recording with cat you'll never get one
with Myth, work 'till you can get a decent cat-ed file then try Myth.
All this is obvious I know, but you'd be surprised how often I
overlook something simple and stupid (as in just a couple of hours
ago ):-)
