You should not be scanning for channels with an analog tuner (the analog
scanner has "issues"--and, is really unnecessary given a good frequency
table). Use the "Fetch channels from listings source" button to get
your channels.

Which it can do without any drivers. However, without drivers, the
hardware is useless. (I.e. the system's recognizing the hardware as
existent is not proof of proper configuration of the drivers.) The only
way to determine if your drivers are properly configured is from the log
messages--which you can get with the command:
tac /var/log/messages |
sed -n '/=\ \ END INIT IVTV\ \ =/,/= START INIT IVTV =/p;
/= START INIT IVTV =/q' |
tac
