Hi William, I had a similar problem with my WinTV-GO under SuSE 9.3 along with a lot of other hardware and general stability problems that were all tied to the same thing: ACPI. Here are a couple of things to look into:
1. If you can, check you /var/log/messages for errors assigning an IRQ (or any other resource allocation errors for that matter) to you tv tuner (bt878).
2. Disable ACPI in your boot loader (by default GRUB). For your default SuSE 9.3 boot option if you don't already see acpi=off as one of your kernel parameters, put it in there and reboot the computer.
I hope this helps.

OS: Suse 9.3 PRO
I recently purchased the Hauppauge WinTV tv card. After installation the system seemed to recognize the card, but not its tuner. Using YAST "Manual TV selection" I've done the following:
Vendor: Hauppauge Card: Hauppauge bt878 (chip on the card is Conexant 878a) Choose Tuner: Default (system then indicates tuner default (detected)) TV Channels: TV Norm: NTSC Frequency Table: us-cable
I then "Scan the Channels" and get the following: ERROR: The kernel module for TV support could not be loaded SHOW DETAILS: sh: "card":"10":"tuner":-1": syntax error: operand expected (error token is "card":"10", "tuner":"-1")
I have played around selecting other tuner options ... but no joy.
Any suggestions/guidance would be appreciated.
Bill
