[mythtv-users] Tainted Kernel and Obsolete Parameters

I am still pretty new to Linux. Can someone tell me what the following messages are trying to tell me? 

Tainted Kernel?
Please try dxs_support=1 or dxs_support=4 option and report if it works on your machine?
Tuner Type was unset?
Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones?

Are these things all safely ignored or do I need to fix them and what should I read to learn how? -Chuck-
