Thats good - means that your ivtv driver is working.  If you use
  ivtv-tune -d /dev/video1 -c 8
then
  cat /dev/video1 > video1.mpg
then ^C after 5 or 10 secs then
  xine video1.mpg
do you get the right channel?  (thats TV2 in Chch)

Sounds like myth has managed to forget something.  Have you recently
upgraded ivtv?  the names of the tuners changed.

Check out the cardinput table in mysql...  see if there are extra lines.
Compare that with the dmesg output relating to ivtv.
