Thanks Rob.  I build mythtv with your new ebuild but I still don't seem 
to be getting ivtv support.  Is there something I need to do with my 
kernel?  I verified that the v4l2 modules are loaded:

mythfe01 layman # lsmod | grep -i v4
v4l2_common             8493  7 
tuner,msp3400,saa7115,cx8800,ivtv,cx2341x,cx88xx
videodev               70485  8 
tuner,msp3400,saa7115,cx8800,ivtv,cx2341x,cx88xx,v4l2_common

Here's the beginning ouput from 'emerge -av media-tv/mythtv' that show 
no ivtv support being built:

[ebuild   R   ] media-tv/mythtv-0.24_p20110410  USE="alsa dvb dvd lirc 
perl python (-altivec) -autostart -bluray -debug -experimental -ieee1394 
-jack -lcd -profile -vdpau -xvmc" INPUT_DEVICES="-joystick"

Portage tree and overlays:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y
