I can personally recommend the Brooktree BT848 Chipset, mine came as a "WinTV" brand card from CompUSA, it's supported at http://www.hauppauge.com/. I don't think it's commercially supported for Linux but I've never had any real issues getting it working with any of the the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, and Suse 9.1 handles it fine. Most all the application software I have tried runs well, MythTV, kdetv, and xawtv. I like kdetv best, has an attractive but simple interface. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/

If only the TV card boxes said on the outside "BT848 chipset powered"... :) There's good lists of working chipsets, but no one ever makes a list of specific brand names that use those chips, or they only list cards that were discontinued 5 years ago. Argh.

This appears to be the exact card I have: http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_go.html http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3761&item=5114047612&rd=1 -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/

try lspci that should at least give you an idea which chips it is ..

And go here: http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/apt/suse/9.1-i586/ for prebuilt MythTV binaries including ivtv. -- Steve Boddy

How much of the stuff in that directory is needed for a basic install for PVR 2/350 ? It's hard to see what's essential.

Ah... Pass. I don't actually have one, so I never installed those. Having a quick look at the dependencies tho' it looks like: ivtv, km_ivtv, lirc, km_lirc, perl-Video-frequencies, and perl-Video-ivtv Then, unless I've misunderstood ivtv, it should be available as a regular v4l device. -- Steve Boddy

I think you need the ivtv driver for this, and I don't think SuSe support it (yet, anyway).
