Current zypp provides much better way to do it:
- Have a pattern/metapackage/anything which provides TV applications
  (Pattern must be well tuned to not install KDETV in GNOME and GNOME TV
  in KDE.)
- This pattern will be automatically soft-selected, if USB ID or PCI ID
  of TV card is detected.

It is not an easy task, because on one side you need a list of all
supported TV cards, on the other side you have to make pattern desktop
dependent. There are two different ways, how they can be supported: V4L
stream (supported by kernel) and video overlay (supported by X).

I did this with nut: If USB UPS is present, then it should be selected
for installation. I guess that it could be an approach for future.

rpm -q --supplements nut
