How do I go about installing drivers for hardware (such as TV tuners) in Vector Linux 7.0?

The very first thing is check the manufacturer's website to see if they have Linux drivers for the device you have. Usually they'll have instructions on how to install it as well.

The tuner in question connects via a usb port (it is a Hauppauge model WinTV-HVR 1950).
