I have a TV card in each of my machines. One a Haupage and the other is an old STB. The ONLY thing I have ever got to work with either one is Kdetv.
What problems do you have with MythTV? I have a WinTV 250 and it is fully functional with MythTV. The only problem that I have had is that I needed a modified version of lirc to get the remote fully functional with ir-blaster. You are the first person that I that heard of who have problems with the WinTV cards and MythTV. There are lots of people in the MythTV list using these cards.

Charles you are correct. I have been using wintTV-PVR-350 since SuSE 9.1. Kdetv does not works with these cards. The cards need the ivtv modules which now is part of the kernel. Of course you can disable it and build the new releases as they come. There is not TV application to watch tv. Basically you have two ways to do it:
1. you can pipe the output of the card (which is an mpg2 stream) to mplayer
2. You can install mythtv which again under SuSE 10.2 all the rpm are in the distro and it is few clicks away.
WinTV is a great tv card.
