Recommend TV tuner card for Suse 10.0 & 10.1


Hi all,
I'm running Suse 10.0 & 10.1 (oh yeah, and wenderz ex pee that I never use anymore).

I've been looking for a TV tuner card to use with Suse and can't decide which one to go with.
Any body have any suggestions?

Thanks.

When you want to see what drivers are available with SuSE you can start YaST2 and look at the hardware section. If you click on the TV Card section you will see a new window. It will not detect any tv tuner cards if none are present, but then you can click on the Add button and you will see a list of vendors and models for which there are drivers available.

I would stay away from the ATI cards just because there are so many problems with ATI graphic cards.

The Hauppauge WinTV PVR cards appear to be good. I have the Hauppauge PVR 350 and I'm happy with it.

Cards that use the bttv chips are probably going to be easy to set up. The bttv drivers have been around for a long time.
