A module is an extension for your kernel that adds functionality to it, in this case the ability to use the saa7134 tv-card. Many modules are loaded automatically at boot time. You can forbid this by blacklisting them. To blacklist a module just add the line "blacklist modulename" to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file. This will tell your system not to load the module. In our case you would add the lines blacklist saa7134 blacklist saa7134_dvb to the blacklist file. But by not loading the module you "remove" the functionality to use your tv-card. So you won't be abled to watch TV with this Card. If you rely on your card it would be best to use the 2.6.24-14 kernel and wait until the problem is fixed.
