I can't comment with regard to FC4, but on my Debian systems, the 
cx88xx.ko module is a neccessity (hotplug loads this for me). Device 
nodes are created in /dev/dvb/adapterX.

Try some of the tzap-related tasks in 
http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/mythdvb.html to see if you can tune 
independantly of Myth - I don't know whether tvtime supports DVB.
