You will probably be right with just MythTV (and MySQL if you don't have it installed yet). It doesn't look like the official wiki has been updated for Suse 12.1 yet, but hopefully it is still of use: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Operating_system#openSUSE

I suspect most people still use shepherd: http://svn.whuffy.com/wiki  for the listings grabber, but I am not sure if you are able to set it up until a tuner is installed.

A dual tuner stick has 2 tuners ;) which means you can record 2 channels at once, or watch another channel while one is recording.

Hi all.

I have searched for info on setting up a USB TV card under Linux and have been overwhelmed with the amount of info.
Harvey Norman have a Kaiser Baas USB TV stick on sale at present for $48 and a Kaiser Baas dual device for $87.
I thought I would take my notebook (Suse 64 12.1) down there and try the device in-store. 
What programs should I install before I get there, please?  What is the advantage of the dual tuner stick?

Thanks

Andrew Greig
