Thanks, Paul, for your feedback. Well, I'm using Suse 9.2 including all 
security updates via YOU. I'm running the Suse default kernel on an Athlon 
XP system.
I've installed ivtv-0.2.0-rc3c (compiled by myself) into /usr/local/bin. 
My /etc/modprobe.conf.local contains:

#
# please add local extensions to this file
#
### additions for PVR-350
#alias char-major-61 ir_kbd_i2c
#alias ir_common ir_kbd_i2c
###alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
#options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_std=2 tuner=38
options ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0
###options msp3400 once=1 simpler=1 simple=0

Suse's built in IRC solution uses keyboard events via ir_kbd_i2c, but I 
haven't enabled this right now. lirc made problems during compilation, so I 
thought I better go without IR support at first. BTW, the keyboard event 
emulation works when pressing the IRC if I've activated that module.

That's it, basically. I'm using "cat /dev/video0 | xine stdin:/" to watch TV 
and "ptune.pl <channel>" to switch the station. My card operates on a TV 
cable (no satellite receiver here).

My background: I've been using Linux since 1998. I've been a member of the 
KDE KMail devel team since 1999. But I've just started to dig into the 
Video on Linux area.

Regards,
Andreas
