In the past it has worked on earlier versions of CentOS (using a variety of approaches, e.g. the plus kernel/v4l-dvb compiled from source/atrpms video4linux mod, etc) but I'm unable to get it working now.

Given the complexities and number of modules in kmod-video4linux, it's 
not going to work for everyone, and I think you fall in that "doesn't 
work for me" category.

You could try building V4L from source, but I note in the latest source 
VIDEO_CX88 requires at least kernel 2.6.22, although you may be able to 
get older snapshots to build.

Sorry we can't be of more help.
