I installed the Kworld V-Stream DVB-T on vanilla SuSE 10.0 at my daughter's, I just plugged it in and powered up. I was impressed with this cheaper card so much I've installed one on my SuSE 10.0 box with bleeding edged kernels. In both cases I'm using xawtv from bytesex.org snapshots and kaffeine with xine-lib I built as SuSE's version doesn't handle certain formats. Mythtv also works fine on the SuSE box, but I have setup problems with it on Mandriva 2006. I'm pleased with both, just wished I'd tried the V-Stream first, would have saved me some cash.
