I have centOS 4 installed on my machine but some how it does not support my TV capture card (bt878) in the kernel, so i want to recompile the kernel to add support for my device. However, i cant find centOS 4 kernel source code. I have read some messages in the mailing list and someone said that i just need to yum install kernel-sourcecode to get the source code, i did it but i yum reported that there is no package matched.

You need to download the source RPM for the kernel, either from the Sources CD, or from the appropriate sources directory. Apparently Redhat stopped providing an explicit kernel sources RPM package since it was already available on their sources CD.
I had to do a little google search on rpmbuild to figure out how to retrieve the source from this collection of patches, since I hadn't done this before.
