Only what comes with it I think. The doc directory in the source is
worth a look.

This is also worth a look: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Main_Page

The driver has been in such a rapid state of development that any
documentation would quickly be out of date. It is considerably more
mature lately.

The mythtv mailing list archives are also a very good source of
knowledge. I would say that a very big percentage of people using these
cards under linux do so in a mythtv box. The archives are very good and
appear here:

simply running 

ivtvctl | less gives you a good idea of what you can control.
