The latest patch is much simpler (as below).

What this is doing is just commenting out 2 lines in the ivtv-streams.c
file. Rather than learning how to use the 'patch' program, just download
the ivtv source, unpack according to the howto instructions at
     http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto
and use your favourite editor to put the '//' in front of the line lines.
Then continue with the installation according to the ivtv howto.

Note that to do this from source requires the kernel headers or -dev
package (I'm using Gentoo so everything comes in source form!!)
