Hi,
I saw names of couple of cards that I believe are supported under Suse
9.1
If you open YaSt and goto hardware and then to TV when it opens you
will see a list of cards sorted by manufacturers. I guess it only
depends now how much you want to spend and what features you want in
these cards. I got a
eVGA nvdia GE FORCE FX personal cinema whoose tv tuner is not working
in linux and so I am using ATI tv wonder v/e and connected my vcr to
it so i can use the remote to change channels or to watch VHS tapes
and using kwintv or xawtv, satisfied with that till now
