You could try temporarily removing the kernel tveeprom file and replacing it with that supplied with ivtv to work with both cx88-dvb and ivtv. The ivtv 0.4.x tveeprom module was an adapted version of that supplied with older kernels. Now that ivtv is in the kernel, there are no such issues (See http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto_legacy_ivtv). Another way that was used in years past was to rename the ivtv files and then alias the renamed ivtv-provided modules to names like tveeprom-ivtv and tuner-ivtv in modprobe.conf. You could Google for this - there are plenty of results. If you have some degree of flexibility, you could upgrade your kernel or distro - RHEL/CentOS5 to at least kernel 2.6.18. In my experience you can expect to hit issues such as this using old kernels and modules for video-capture, especially when some old versions of modules contain forked versions of in-kernel modules.
