[Wftl-lug] Help, please, recording TV

[Harry Holt]

Well on SuSE, Sax2 *should* do all the sound card configuration that you
need.  Not sure how else to help you there.  I was not fond of the SB Live
drivers in Linux, and gave my card away.  I typically use "alsa-config" to
set up the sound card stuff, but I'm not sure if that's available on SuSE.

You might want to check the forums on the manufacturer's site - it looks
like there's some good information there.

If you're not going to use the digital tuner at all, you may want to look at
just configuring it for a generic CX8800.
