UPDATE:
a modprobe cx88_dvb returned: can't locate module cx88_dvb
a modprobe dvb_core returned: can't locate module dvb_core
a modprobe -all returned (my thoughts on the important modules):

 
/lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx8800.o
 
cx88xx.o
 
v4l1-compat.o
 
v4l2-common.o
 
video-buf.o
 
videodev.o
                 /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/v4l2/cx8800.o
 
cx88xx.o
 
v4l1-compat.o
 
v4l2-common.o
 
video-buf.o
 
videodev.o

I think I may have a problem because of the 2.4.25 directory. How do I go
about updating modules? (I'm pretty new at Linux but I can manage to
basics.)
