I threw in the towel with Suse9.0 and 9.1 (I was testing Suse as place
of employment is a Novell house). There are a few people who have had
success with using mythtv on suse.

I was thinking of using knoppMyth the only question that I has was
does it support dvb? So far I have not found an answer to that.

I used Mandrake because I moved away from RH, and I read that it has a
little more support for most codecs. I am not entirely happy with
Mandrake but at least it works.
