What I am using right now is a WinTV GO-Plus, if that makes any difference. houghi wrote:

Okay, I got it to detect, now am having some problems getting it to get the channels (I'm running Comcast) Does comcast require a cable box (settop box)? If so, the card is only going to see channel 4.
You also want to check if it found and loaded the firmware correctly.
I cant recall if SuSE distributed the firmware or not.
As root do: dmesg | grep ivtv
And compare it to the output of this page: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Suse
(might not be exactly the same but the bit about loading the firmware should be there.)
That page has sections specific to each suse version
I have a WinTV-PVR 350 as well. I run 10.0 at this moment.
I have followed that page a few times. One time I had succes, untill there was a kernel upgrade. I have tried again and still get nothing.
I have written what I have done down and have again followed it to no avail.
I also have written a script to run, as to follow the HOWTO's and README's and what not. I am not realy a newbie, so I have a bit of an idea what I am doing, yet I have enourmous problems getting it to work. First because I am so used that hardware just works with SUSE, second becoause the sites all point from one place to another.
As the README and HOWTO's are basicaly an set of instructions you need to follow, why has nobody writen a simpel script that does all that? I treid, but as long as it does not work with me, I can't spread it around.
What I did the first time and the script I had written can be found here: http://houghi.org/Fun/haupauge/index.php
Again, it is very frustrating that I can not get it to work after several hundred tries and at least 100 hours and about 50 sites, including the one above. Also because I looked before buying and it was said that it would be the easiest card to get working.
So if somebody could look at my notes, look at the script and tell me what I missed after the kernel update, please let me know.
