Yes, I got CC working on my box this weekend. You have to use ivtvctl 
to set a few options:

   /usr/bin/ivtvctl -x 1 -b cc -w cc

at a minimum. Personally, I used this line in modprobe.conf to set 
the options for both my 250 and my 350 whenever the ivtv module is 
loaded:

install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe 
ivtv-fb; /usr/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -x 1 -b cc -w cc; 
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -x 1 -b cc -w cc
