OK, so I've been messing with this for a few hours now. I had it
working 1x but was annoyed by some audio hiss so I reconfigured and lost it.

Anyhow after hitting a few computer stores today looking for a
compatible card, I found this one for $59.00.

Mostly the problem is the TV Tuner isn't changing the channels. It is
stuck on one channel, I had the tuner working earlier for about 15
minutes. I have tried to update via YAST a bunch of times. I used the
Hardware (SUSEPLUGGER) tool. Info Below:

Driver Info #0:
Driver Status: bttv is active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe bttv"

The card model is detected as Hauppauge WinTV in YAST. The only time I
got it working was by changing the default tuner out to Philips 4 in 1
ATI TV Wonder Pro (Conexant.) I noticed a Conexant chip on board the
card. See URL's above. It was working, but I was stupid enough to mess
with it.

YAST shows the following:
Installed TV and Radio Cards:
Hauppauge WinTV
Installed as TV card number 0.

Anyhow I haven't been able to get the tuner running again, I am stuck on
VH1 right now, please help! :)

YAST is configured right now as NTSC US-Cable though I have tried the
US-Cable-HRC setting too. The frequencies are off a tad on the HRC
setting.

Yast has detected channels exactly 1 time correctly, and now I cannot
figure out how the heck I did it. Every other time it "thinks" it's
detecting a new channel, but it is really never actually changing the
channel. (Does that make sense?) You can hear the audio when it is
detecting channels and that is a pretty quick way to know if the tuner
is working.

I am using the following TV apps:
KDETV which I screwed up by upgrading to the latest version using
Kpackage. How do you uninstall updates? :-(
XawTV and MoTV.

Why the heck can't I get the tuner working? Here's a screenshot of the
desktop and it is playing the TV fine.

This is the last hurdle towards getting this SUSE box into condition for
my wife to use it, which is a goal for me as well as learning all I can
while doing it.
