First my bad, I guess I was anticipating Fedora 9, I'm still running
Fedora 8.... sorry for the confusion..
I tried installing ivtv and I had no luck:
[root@wisdom yum.repos.d]# yum install ivtv
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* livna: mirror.atrpms.net
* fedora: mirror.umoss.org
* adobe-linux-i386: linuxdownload.adobe.com
* updates: mirror.umoss.org
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package ivtv available.
Nothing to do
I did however find ivtv-firmware and installed that.
What repo can I find ivtv?

You will always experience dependency problems if you have atrpms and
livna enabled at the same time, and do indiscriminate updates. They
each have mutually contradictory copies of some packages.
You need to enable atrpms and disable the livna repo in /etc/yum.repos.d
Before you go any further, go to rpm.livna.org and look at the
available rpms. You want to REMOVE any of them which you have
installed ( rpm -qa | grep whatever) while you fix things.
Then, with atrpms enabled, you can go to atrpms.net and look at the
available packages and install what you need, including the entire
mythtv-suite, ivtv and ivtv-firmware, using yum. Jarod Wilson's guide
is still the install cook-book, even though written for fedora 6.
Things have only gotten easier since then.
NOTHING on atrpms will conflict with fedora or fedora-updates and you
should have no dependency problems. Basically all of the needed
libraries are on atrpms.net.
When you are done with atrpms, you can enable livna (and disable
atrpms: never both together!), to install the few remaining programs
which you might want, such as xine-extras-non-free, or a pre-made
nvidia + kernel module combination.
For the same reasons, you should be careful with dag's repo.

As much as I want to get this card up and running and seeing that Fedora
9 is less than 2 weeks away I think I'm going to sit tight and wait for
Fedora 9's release and do a fresh install on the OS filesystems. I have
a feeling that it might be less work in the long run.
Lastly, the multiple repo's are probably one of Fedora's biggest assets
and biggest downfalls. I appreciate all the repo maintainers do for the
Fedora users, they have made my life a lot easier in that I can just
simply install a package which has usually been properly compiled and
set to install on the system. The downside is mixing and matching
repo's can really ruin your day. It would be great if the repo
maintainers could come up with a common and compatible distribution scheme.
