$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
may be of some help to you for manually using the devices.
Setting up udev is a pain, in that it is best if you learn how to use
udevadm to snoop hotplug event so you can then write rules to them.
Conceptually something like this:
1. man udevadm
2. confusion & swearing
3. su - root;
4 modprobe -r ivtv
5. udevadm monitor --somearguments
6. modprobe ivtv
7. confusion & swearing
8. quit udevadm
9. man udev
10. confusion & swearing
11. edit rules file on you machine
12. restart udev
13. modprobe -r ivtv; modprobe ivtv
14. check results
15. confusion & swearing
16. if results aren't right goto step 4
17. realize that pam rules affect device permissions
18 confusion & swearing
19. manually fix ownership and permissions on device nodes
until logout and re-login

I suspect that is not the case.
