[Kwintv] kdetv doesnt recognize my card

[George Fragos]

With SuSE my WinTV card's tuner has never been identified by YaST in 9.1-3. 
When this happens, the tuner is set to 0 like yours. Look at your card to 
identify the tuner so you can determine the correct tuner number. I found 
some tuner numbers that worked patialy by experimentation. When I finally 
pulled the sticker off my tuner chip, the big one, I found the true 
identity. SuSE YaST TV configuration had the model name and tuner number 
even though it couldn't determine the correct number.
