There is not TV application to watch tv. Basically you have two ways to do it:
Hopefully soon you can use other apps since, now that ivtv more or less complete, it is going through a code clean up and is slowly being merged into v4l.
1. you can pipe the output of the card (which is an mpg2 stream) to mplayer
Yes, and to save the stream, just pipe it to a file.
2. You can install mythtv which again under SuSE 10.2 all the rpm are in the distro and it is few clicks away.
The only real barrier that I foresee for new people is that one will have to setup mysql to.
WinTV is a great tv card.
Yes, it is. I hope there will be new models soon that can do divx/xvid instead. As a side note, the 350 have TV out and the svn version of mplayer is now capable of outputing to that. I don't know if it is in the Packman version yet. Charles
