Checking on a stock Intrepid kernel, there is no cx88.ko, but:
$ locate cx88
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-alsa.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-blackbird.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-vp3054-i2c.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx8800.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx8802.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.26-5-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88xx.ko

$ sudo modprobe cx88xx
derek at bella:~/plone/VDC$ lsmod | grep cx
cx88xx                 75304  0
ir_common              48004  1 cx88xx
i2c_algo_bit           14084  1 cx88xx
videobuf_dma_sg        20484  1 cx88xx
videobuf_core          26372  2 cx88xx,videobuf_dma_sg
btcx_risc              12552  1 cx88xx
tveeprom               20100  1 cx88xx
i2c_core               30100  3 cx88xx,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom
videodev               38784  2 cx88xx,uvcvideo

So you might just try modprobe _before_ plugging in your tuner.
