Hi Mike,
What kernel is the SUSE system running? I've got 2.6.20-1 on an FC6 box
and it recognised two Hauppauge Nova-T's and, after loading the ivtv
driver, a PVR-350 without problems. I'm still finalising setting it up
with MythTV. It depends if SUSE have kept the kernel's standard DVB-T
driver in their kernel release. My system has 2 x Nova-T and a PVR-350.
What does lspci say? Mine, among other things, includes...
02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15
MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
02:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video
and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
02:0d.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and
Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)
02:0d.4 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and
Audio Decoder [IR Port] (rev 05)
02:0e.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video

02:0e.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and
Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)
02:0e.4 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and
Audio Decoder [IR Port] (rev 05)
The first line is the PVR-350, the rest are the two Nova-T's
What does ls /dev/dvb give you? Mine gives....
ls /dev/dvb
adapter0 adapter1
These two devices are created by the DVB driver when it loads.
lsmod should show you several driver bits loaded related to the CX23880
chip on the DVB card.
dmesg shows the loading of the drivers as follows....

If lspci does not show the hardware, then check that the card is fully
pushed home. Is it showing up in lsusb? Is the card behaving like a usb
device for some strange reason?
If the driver is not loading, eg /dev/dvb is missing and dmesg is not
showing it, then the kernel might be missing the dvb driver for some
reason.
Looking at an FC5 system I have (I've just shut the FC6 one down) the
DVB modules are located in
/lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2316.fc5/kernel/drivers/media/dvb
The directory listing goes like this...

I would have thought you'd see similar modules in your SUSE system.
Does that help any??
