I will give debian a try:
http://rz-obrian.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/epia-m/

looks promising. And I can compile my modules against a custum kernel and
wont have to care about unresolved symbols.

I´ll keep the list posted.

I´ll try two partitions one with the current redhat install, one with debian(sid)

I can playback recorded files with about 25% CPU usage, but I also have occasional
and rebuffering errors (there is a fix in CVS from today, I´ll update my source tree
tonight). What is funny though it plays a transcoded recording (640x480 divx) without
stuttering, even at ~90% CPU. Seems to be some issue with the HW decoding.

As above, I will try debian this night, first setting up myth 0.11 from deb, compiling 
ivtv, and when thats ok I´ll go for HW decoding. 

Will keep you posted,
