Follow the directions here:

The v4l-dvb repository strives to support a range of older kernels, but
2.6.18 is pushing the limit.  The v4l-dvb drivers should compile.  The
ivtv driver will likely work too, but no guarantees.  Make sure you back
up your current modules before the 'make install' step.


Also you'll have to unload all your old modules, after you've installed
the new ones.  It's easiest to reboot than to try and `modprobe -r` all
the old modules; although `make unload` may work on all the old modules.
