To that is there a good Linux PCI HiDef TV/FM card out there?
As I remember at the first of 2009 this switch will take effect. The
local FREE TV station will drop analog and go to the forced on the
broadcaster and us HD TV. My guess is the US government is looking for
fees, and taxes as income. Most people are happy with their old analog
TVs Shades of Quad HiFi!!
Digital TV is great and does not necessarily mean pay-TV, HDTV or
even a conspiracy. Have a look at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki
Unfortunately DVB uses MPEG and many cards require firmware so you
won't be able to watch TV out of the openSUSE box anymore even
though the hardware is supported in principle.
