The most common chipset is the
Brooktree Bt series; the Linux driver is called bttv.
YaST should recognize your card, if it is supported, and load drivers, whether the card is
present at your initial openSUSE install or is added later. If this doesn??™t happen, you can
always configure the card manually.
To configure the card, you need to identify the chipset. Check YaST. Go to Hardware, then

Building Your Own Personal Video Recorder
Personal video recorders like TiVo and ReplayTV have changed the way people use television.
The VCR introduced the idea of time-shifting broadcast television, but developed
the reputation of being so complicated to program that nontechnical folks threw up their
hands and gave up. Technical advances have made this easier, but the image of the ???guy

make it a virtual no-brainer to record both analog and digital TV signals to a hard drive
for later viewing.
