Did you set the good input source ?
You can test it using the tools given with the driver of ivtv.
The test_ioctl prg permit you to set the source and the 
ptune-ui.pl permit you to select channel.

after that make cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg 
or use mplayer /dev/video0 to make a test.

And after try with vlc.
