You should compile it separately (but you need installed kernel sources and you need to have v4l2 enabled in the kernel). 2) You should compile the video and dvb code as modules.

But besides the module issue, there are 2 pitfalls: - For a technical reason, you must not load the tuner module before the saa7134 module. - There was a bug in some versions that made dvb-t support fail. This is fixed in the current repository (and also in 2.6.20) After you corrected these things and it still doesn't work, you need to provide more information.
