With Mplayer you have the option to dump the video stream to a file. I have tested this with all kind of streaming video on the web and that works fine, My connection is too slow to allow real streaming video, so this way I can watch video streams off line. But I'm not sure if that also works for a tv tuner card. Do you lead that output through a video player like xine? If so then mplayer looks a good bet to me.
cat /dev/video0 > myfile.mpeg Adjust device as necessary for your card. Not cute, but works. To play: mplayer myfile.mpeg Plenty of tv packages available in SuSE distro. Really awesome MythTV package freely available from mythtv.org -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
