You don't need to install the whole kernel, you can just install modules
into 2.6.14 as described by Michael Krufky.
Works great for me.  His e-mail is quoted below:

The best route is to just install the new modules from cvs.

howto-wiki: http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/How_to_build_from_CVS

I usually just point people to the wiki, but because of the recent merge
of the v4l + dvb cvs trees, I've included the detailed instructions
above for your convenience.

Here are the instructions:

1) Check-out the newly merged v4l-dvb cvs repository:

 cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.linuxtv .org:/cvs/video4linux login
 cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux co v4l-dvb

2) Change into the v4l-dvb directory:

 cd v4l-dvb

3) (optional) If you are recompiling the cvs modules against a different
kernel, clean the tree and kernel version info:

 make distclean

4) Compile the modules:

 make

5) Install them: (as root)

 make install

6) Remove the previous modules from memory:

  modprobe -r bt878 && modprobe -r bttv

(you might want to use "rmmod" instead of "modprobe -r" -- your choice)

7) Load up the new modules:

  modprobe dvb-bt8xx
