The mythtv project is pretty sweet. I have a dedicated box running at home
pretending to be an overly capable Tivo.

Subject: [ale] TV tuner card problem
> I have been soooo spoiled by Suse 8.1-9.0 that my current problems
amplified.
>
> I thought that Hauppauge TV cards were compatible with Linux, so I bought
one.
> A WinTV-250 PVR. To my surprise, it was not automatically detected. I
manually
> added it using Yast2, but it still didn't work.
>
> As I did more digging, I learned that I need something called bttv
compiled in

> successful. Moreover, it is NOT available as a package in Yast2.

> Questions:
> 1. Can anyone recommend a nice *hardware* TV tuner card that will be auto
> detected in Suse (8.2-9.1)?
> 2. Should I stick with the Hauppauge WinTV-250 PVR?
> 3. Where can I get bttv?
>
>
> PS
> Here is what happened when I went looking for bttv (recommended by various

> computer:~ # vim /etc/modules.conf
> computer:~ # bttv
> -bash: bttv: command not found
